jim_uny · Jan 28, 2016

am going thru new to me ford 9700. found 2 parts in tool box. unknown to me. does anyone know their purpose ? is a P on one. also how does one secure top upper link in "not in use" position. is it a u bracket or a chain. i was unable to find top link in ford online parts diagram. thanks in advance for assistance

Not 100% sure on this....
They could be had with a parking brake, or a transmission lock position ('Park') on the range lever. When in Park, if equipped, the range lever would rest in the notch by the arrow and 'P'.
Dont' know what the other part is, or what is supposed to hold the top link. We always remove ours when we aren't using them.

The part on the right is definitely the park position bracket for the high-low shifter handle. Don't know what the other piece is.

where does it go & what does it do ? txs

It's broken. The piece on the left is the clamp for the piece on the right, and it is broken, so that the piece on the right cannot be installed. Probably from someone jamming it into park over the years and stretching it out to the point it was in the way in order to get it into park. know what I mean?

good picture...

The handle on the toplink that folds up has a round ball on the end cast into the handle. That round ball slips through a round hole on a plate with a slot which contains the toplink slot and the trailer electric plug.

you can sort of see the ball holding the toplink in the slot. I don't have any pictures of mine, but I do have my original toplink. The original owner never used it, or the 3 pt.

Here's a link to the parts page for the lift linkage:

The bracket with the slot that the toplink handle fits into is number 74 at the top of the diagram, and the toplink adjustment handle with the ball on the end is number 9. You can use the slide at the bottom of the diagram to zoom in and then use your mouse to drag the picture around to see the zoomed-in section you're interested in.
