thanks again for the info larry. if i could i would like to ask a couple of more questions. on the small box on the fender that levels the 3 pt there are 3 switches. the center one levels the 3 pt, but the other 2 are broken off. would you know what thier function is? also there is a metal lever about 4 inches long to the right side of the ignition. could you tell me what it does? i can't find a manual for this tractor, and your information has been very helpful. thank you very much.
