A top link coupled a tractor front counterweight support linkage, said top link comprising:
- a first attachment bolt connectable to a tractor front counterweight;
- a fixed length elongate body having at a first end a mechanism enabling a pivoting connection with a chassis of a tractor and at a second end, a slot to slidably receive the first attachment bolt, wherein the first attachment bolt slides in the slot when the tractor front counterweight is raised off of the ground;
- and
- a user operable mechanism comprising a removable retainer received in an opening of said fixed length elongate body, said opening being registered with said slot so that when the retainer is installed in the opening, the retainer prevents sliding movement of the first attachment bolt received in the slot when said first attachment bolt is in a position with the tractor front counterweight raised from the ground.
