cheers Les.
Yeh I have seen only ever 1 super in the uk with this bracket -- as regards to how it works - complicated - I'm sure someone on here may have an upload able picture of this arrangement from the manual !

I've never seen a complete one, not even on the internet. So far, the only one that I have seen in the flesh was on my uncle's major, but the only thing that remained was the "special" top link bracket for it.
Pictures from the manual. A special hydraulic top link was used and when any implement in the ground struck an obstruction the system disengaged the clutch. The operator then took the tractor out of gear, pressed the clutch down and released it with the hand lever, then released the clutch and used the hydraulics to lift the implement. This action reset the top link and away you went again.
I have never seen one fitted to a Super Major as this might have been more difficult with Draft control.
