What Does What - Hinomoto N189

[SnowBind]

Hello, just bought a N189 for my Pop. I'm am unsure what a few controls do on this tractor and was hoping some of you veterens could help.

As you know, everything in in Japanese conji writing on this tractor.

Items I can't figure out.
1 - silver knob that is between drivers legs below seat area (don't know how else to describe it).

2 - pedel for right foot (heel pushed).

3 - on my right arm is a control pad with many knobs and a silver toggle. Some of the controls are covered with a plastic protector. I was fiddling with them a bit and it seems to either control the rear up/down 3pt rear hitch and/or the original rotortiller maybe ? (I don't have the rotortiller).

Lastly does anyone know if I can find a English service manual or something along those lines (long shot, but figure I'd ask anyways).

I don't know about the third item you mention.

The first sounds like it might be the 3PH speed control. The second is likely the rear differential lock.

I think you may be right on 1 and 2 (only in that was my guess...so a few more votes and I'm convinced).

The toggle will lift your 3PH. The next round knob will stop the 3 point from going down farther than a pre-determined limit. The 3rd knob tilts the 3 point cylinder on the right side of the hitch. I haven't been able to make any of the others do anything.
