Bigbear,
Thanks, credit can actually go to Pine Ridge, he gave me this drawling when I asked for help.
No I don't use the top link, I remember how hard it was to get the bolt out of the hole with the hoses in the way when I took the 3 point hitch off. There is no way I am going to try to pin a top link in there if I don't have to. I have no fears of breaking anything the way it is built even when moving the 'bota with the hoe.
