Extensive Model Number: 941-5-L-8

I saw a 941 today, model 941-5-L-8 stamped into the transmission.
-5 = Factory Wide Front Axle
-L = Liquid Propane Gas
-8 = Sherman Transmission. I don't know if it was an Under or Over Sherman. There were only two positions for the shift lever that I could find- forward and aft. I could feel a detent at each position. I tried to pull out on the shifter but nothing happened.
The LPG system had been removed and a gas tank and appropriate carb added. They left the hood on it with the cutout for the LPG tank.

I thought all the Shermans put in at the factory were o/u's by then... what shape was the handle?

(quoted from post at 21:30:49 02/13/09) I thought all the Shermans put in at the factory were o/u's by then... what shape was the handle?

They were combo's with 50% under, 1:1 and 50% over.

OR

Reverser's making the tractor into a shuttle. Industrials or fork lifts were the more common target for the reverser.

I went to John Smith's site and the shift handle on this 941 looked like the one he shows on a Sherman Combo. The handle extends forward towards the starter first and then it curves back. I didn't want to pull too hard on it and break something so I guess I didn't find all of the detents.
