Draft Control Lever Postion

Hello
I gave a Fordson Dexta that is in very good operating condition. In learning the hydraulics, I note that the draft control lever that switches from manual to float operation of the hydraulics is reverse from what manual states. When horizontal (up position), the draft control works when leveraging against the draft control spring (arms lift). When in down position, the lever on quadrant controls height of lift arms. Any ideas? I don't want to pull the cover off as it is operating normally, but just opposite of the norm. Thanks

The "strap" to the right of the springs is what connect to the lever and
changes from "Draft" to "Position" by allowing the middle spring and plunger
to push on the front lever which is connected to the control valve. The only
thing I can think of is someone has had the lift apart and turned the shaft
and bell crank that connects br the "strap" to the frame that moves the
spring.
 
Thanks Majorman
I figured it had to be some change in orientation of the linkage within the unit during a prior teardown. I think I will leave well enough alone as it works just fine, but backwards. Appreciate the response.
