Friend took me to look at a Gleaner of some sort, he knew I ran a few over the years. We got there, and it was a green stripe F3 with hydro tranny.
Wow. I didn't know they were still making F series when Duetz took over with the green, and didnt know that they put a hydro in the f series either.
Couldn't start it, couldn't move it when it got started the second time we were there, but I bought it.
Turned out it was a widow, friend of my friend, selling it, and it had to back it out of the shed, couple inches to spare on the door with the bean head.
Yea, you will get over it.
Clutch and 3 brake pedals, only use the close brake to the steering wheel if the two others weren't used, they love to stick or out of fluid and don't work....
3 foreward 1 reverse shifter down by your right hand if its a belt/clutch drive.
Hydro has an upper high/low that needs to be on neutral to start, lower hi-low to give you your ranges, the big lever on the console moves you forward or back, be slow, gentle with the lever!
Older has 2 hyd levers that move fore aft, up down to control everything look at the little decals.
Newer electric over hyd has a panel of white switches that do everything, look at the decals.
Pretty basic, you just need a day to get used to it.
