Mystery of the 3-Way Valve

Manual has instructions about the 3-Way Valve but this seems to be all there is:



wondering if that is because there is a seperate control for the external hydraulic system?

Start this sequence of posts from the bottom

I hope if you've found this series of entries you might be able to help me make sense of what I've got here. If you would like to tell me to go buy the book, I'd be delighted to; and if you would be so kind as to tell me where and which ones, I'd be ever so grateful. thank you.

Right side

On the right side:



I find the raise/lower control I'm familiar with from the Ferguson, and two additional hydraulic controls which I assume are for the aux lines. Here's a top view:



But I'm baffled as to the purpose and use of the little knob with three settings; this control seems likely and obvious that it's purpose is as it says, rate of change control;




But as to the purpose of this item, haven't a clue.



by the way, I had the CASE shop look at the 3-pt and they said it works in extended mode but not in draft mode. I have no idea what that means. They also said $3-6K to repair it. I know what that means!

Left side

On the left side:



there are four hydraulic lines which appear to be controled by two levers on the right side), a long lever which connects rather low,



which based on the sticker, I take to be the PTO control (with a high and low speed?);



and a short little lever on the back side.



which I have no idea what it does or how it's used.

What is it?

OK, according to the plate on the fender,

Reduction Ration 11/49
Tractor # 990/1 851530
Engine Serial # 449001 30110

I bet someone can tell me that this means!

I notice that, in addition to the custom flat tires and leaking fuel tank, it has power steering, secondary hydraulics, and controls for which I have no idea what they are or do. So I took pictures and I hope someone will tell me what I was looking at!
