Odd Toplink

I bought a Dearborn 2 bottom plow at an auction and this toplink came with it. I can not see how it works. There"s 25 inches between the link centers. I think it was used for some other specialized equipment where the notches were used to adjust it in a different way.
Any ideas?

used with a sycle cutter where a "bale" would lay in the various notches to set the cutting angle on the cutter.
 
Hi Bill, The top link is a proper one. The notch
plates are bolted on for special use of the 14-1
and 14-2 mowers (as stated in other post) You can
take them off or leave on. You can adjust the
length of that top link. Just thinking as I re-
looked at the picture. Are there two halves that
slide together? Should be. Chuck
 
theyre also used on shredders to keep deck height constant on systems like the Ferguson that dont hold pressure or "bob"...there's a V shaped rod with a chain welded to each end that bolts to the lower 3 point mounts on implement...you put the rod in different slots on that top link to adjust height.

Exactly. Some of the old Servis rotary mowers had those.
 
Also used to set angle on pull type disk, depth on spring tooth and spike tooth harrows and also for depth control on a corn planter. Orignal style that came out with the first 9N tractor up thru all the NAA series and Ferguson tractors. A simular version was used with the mounted plow on the Detroit and Cork Fordson tractors.
