I'm trying to get some clarification on a Mitsubishi D1500FD tractor I bought withe KE80 engine.
I'm trying to figure out what this lever on the left, behind the seat (with the knob top) controls. If you're looking at the photo, it's the only one with a knob on it, with some silverish coloring at top of the knob.
Okay, now to a more challenging question. In the photo below you can see one knob-topped lever. That's the PTO controller. I've got that figured out, as well as the gear shifter above it. Now here's what I'm trying to figure out. Above the gearbox (below the seat, which is just out of the top of this picture) is a controller for the 3-point hitch lift. There's a knob with one wing on the front of this. It's in the middle setting now, and can turn about 90 degrees left or right from this position. I don't know how to set this or what that is for.
The second question for this picture below is what the metal "box" that is pictured in the bottom right of this photo is. Here's what I can tell -- It has one fluid line that goes forward to what I believe is a pump on the engine. That line is at the bottom of this box, under the footrest (not seen in this photo). The top line to the pump you can see just above that box. The box has four bolts on the top that hold down a top plate. What's in this "box"?
And the final photo is about levers again. In this photo you see three knobbed levers. Top one is the 3-point hitch controller. Second one is 4WD control lever, and third is the High-Low gear box controller. My question is simple -- which is the position that engages the 4WD -- is it in 4WD when the level is pushed forward, or when it is backwards?
Also in this photo, you can see the transmission oil fill cap. Mine doesn't have a dipstick, and there's not another dipstick as far as I can tell on this gear box. How high do you fill these gear boxes with fluid, what type of fluid do you use, and is there a filter anywhere on these transmissions that I can clean now that I'm changing the fluid?
