What does this other little lever do?

[Marlowe]

I have a Mitsubishi 1801. It has the regular lever to the right of the driver's seat that lifts and lowers the 3 point, but there's another lever, shorter, to the inside of the longer lever. What does that little lever do?

Also, if I pull the longer lever all the way up the three point raises fine, but it seems to put a strain on the engine. If I back off on the lever just a tad, the hitch lowers a bit, and the engine eases up. The FEL also works much better with the lift lever backed off just a bit. Seems to me I should have an adjustment somewhere to keep me from going too far with the lift lever. Any suggestions?

I sure would like to have a service manual for this tractor if anybody knows where I can get one. In English, preferred.

My guess would be draft control.

Draft control lever is correct. The lift noise is caused by the lever going too far as you have discovered. There were stops on the lift gate to limit the travel of the lever. I may be able to come up with a stop. Email me or call 1-800-609-5110. BIll
