You have found the "draft control lever" affecting the behavior of the 3-point hitch.

"D" (Depth) is used for most operations except for pulling "heavy ground engaging implements" (think plowing).

"L" (Load) is used for "heavy ground engaging implements", it raises the implement under heavy draft load, lessening the draft load and putting weight on the rear tires for traction.

The area between the two selects how sensitive the "Load" function is.

You can purchase, view for free, or download for free an Operator's Manual for your tractor at the following link.

Welcome to YT
It sounds as if you need a 4020 operators manual. Photo below is from 4020 operators manual.

Thank you for that info...I also don't know where the override is so I can tow the tractor without hurting the transmission

Powershift trans disconnect lever is at LH rear of platform that operators feet rests on when sitting in seat.

L-LD-D is sensitivity for the three-point arms as for plowing and three-point operation.. Powershift transmission disconnect lever ( TOW ) is 'under' the platform at the left rear corner..

You're welcome
Here's 2 photos from 4020 operators manual concerning operation of Powershift trans that are very important.

That sounds like the Ferguson Draft lever functioning on the old Fords and Fergies.
