No enjoyment seeing the pics but thanks for sharing them. You have no doubt saved someone else from the same problem. Its amazing how strongly and heavily built tractors are and how you can tear parts up in a quick minute.

I know what happened even though i didn't know that it was possible. I was grubbing out a possible house site(wife still is undecided{sigh}) and i had the box blade down & tilted slightly forward. I pushed some brush into a small creek bed & up the other side. I forgot to raise the box & it caught as the front of the tractor went up the bank. I reached down & moved the top link lever & the box came all the way up, then flipped on end smashing into my tail lights & jamming in that position. The top link, caught in the bind, bent. Drove it back to the house while listening to every "shift" as it grated on the tail lights.
It was interesting trying to get it un-clustered...removing pins, jumping back as the 7' box slammed into the ground.
New tail light assemblys- $140
Top link- still waiting for a $
Learning experience- not priceless because i haven't figured out how to keep this from happening again
So, when i get it all back together, i am going to weld something somewhere to prevent further embarrassment
Pic's for your enjoyment:
