You looking to buy? Or set to a length?
Tractor supply and many AG supplies have them $25 or less if looking to buy - make sure you get cat 1

The length will be variable depending on what you are doing -
here is a source :

Maybe I'm not explaining it right, there has to be a OEM collapsed length, it than can be adjusted out for what ever proper length for a particular piece of equipment. So if the collapsed length is to short it might not work with the equipment that you using, same if to long
Mine appears to have a minimum length of just over 20". It's currently adjusted to around 21.5 or just under, and I rarely (pretty much never?) have to go very far from that, and don't recall ever bottoming it out. That's pin center-line to center-line.
Russ, thank you, I will go out and measure the one I just purchased. I thought it might be too long but maybe not.
I measured center hole to center hole and its 20 inches, so I guess I'm good.
Thanks again
Dusty

I just went through the similar questions.
Ended up buying the shorter of the two i found. Have not used it yet. But did have to take some material off the eye to make it fit.
I seemed to see that is common with the non kubota toplinks. Our maybe that's just the princess auto kinds.
edit: forgot to say mine is 20.5 collapsed. I think. Lol

I have a cat. 1 toplink on my work bench. I get about 20" center to center, with it fully retracted as well.
Depending on one's financial status, it is pretty easy to buy two top links that cover a wide range of measurements. Problem solved.
I'd say there are at least 8 to 10 top links in my barn in various stages of repair, condition, and modification.
There is even one that has a CAT2 ball on one end and CAT1 on the other as OEM. Haven't seen one before or since.
That said, a hydraulic top link, like on my M7040, is not so economical to stock up on different sizes!
