Abstract

A top link for a tractor front counterweight support linkage. The link is a fixed length elongate body having at a first end a pivoting connection with a chassis of the tractor and at a second end a slot to slidably receive an attachment bolt connectable to a tractor front counterweight. The link further includes a mechanism to selectively permit or prevent sliding movement of an attachment bolt received in the slot.
