Most three point bhs should have a Ridgid toplink with one pivot point not two. At least mine did. I used a old pair of mini vice grips to lock the lift lever on my old Kubota.

If you already have a subframe backhoe I’d recommend just removing and selling that backhoe to someone else to break their tractor with.
