Ken, I'm about six months ahead of you. I got my 2135 (first tractor) last December. The FIRST thing I got after that was the operator's manual. To disengage the second stage clutch, push the pedal (the regular clutch on the left) ALL THE WAY down. If you can't engage the PTO then without grinding it, the clutch needs adjusting. That thing with the two levers is the hydraulic system quadrant. The outside lever is the draft-control lever and the inside lever is the position control lever. Unless you're using draft control, the draft control lever should be all the way up. I'm no expert on draft control, but I think it's used when you're using an earth-engaging implement. The draft control will sense harder ground and raise the implement before you bog down the tractor. I think it's good for plowing a big long section. As Paul said, the pedal on the right is the differential lock. engaging it will lock the two rear wheels together so's they turn at the same speed. This is VERY useful when you're trying to get unstuck, but if you engage it when a wheel is spinning, you'll do serious damage to it. I paid $35 fo my manual at the Massey dealer. Although I might have paid less on line, I'm really glad I got it. This website is also a wealth of info:) 2135's are pretty rare birds. They were made from '64 to '69, I think. If you post the serial number (under the dashboard, on the left side) here, you can find out what year you have. I love mine. It'll be great to hear from another 2135 owner on this board:) TOM G (OK)
