lever on front left side

[blitz]

I was helping a neighbor with his 2n and noticed a lever of some sort, about a foot long and bent up, coming out of the left side of the transmission case. It is a couple of inches back from where the motor/trans bolts together. He doesn't know and I don't either. Any Ideas??

Thanks

Sounds like a sherman transmission. Gives you upper and lower gears

Probably the shift handle for either an over and under auxillary transmission or an overdrive transmission to speed up the ground speed.

He must not be very curious????

Sometimes a little curiosity is a good thing. sometimes not!

Reminds me of the boy with the golden screw.


THE GOLDEN SCREW!

There once was a little boy who was born perfectly normal except for a golden screw right where the naval is on everybody else. A fairy appeared to the mother of the little boy with the golden screw in his naval when he was only a day old and told the mother to never tamper with the golden screw no matter what.

When the little boy got to be about three years old he noticed that none of the other children or adults had a golden screw in there naval so he asked his mother about it and she relayed to the little boy what the fairy had told her after he was born.

This seemed to satisfy the little boy until one day when he was about 15 his curiosity just got the best of him and he got a big screw driver out of his daddy’s tool box and proceeded to do what he had been warned not to do.

When the screw came out of the naval his buttocks fell off!

Some screws are to be left alone!

I agree with the others most likely to be a Sherman aux tranny. There are 3 common one and the most common is the over drive type which gives you the factory gears plus a high range over drive in all the gears and in over drive back um up is way to fast
