What's this for

[Eddie]

What's the small black knob beside the gear shift do on YM2020
As you can see on the decal it shows it in and out but I can't read the explination

It is your dipstick.

Actually it is the lockout for the compound gear. Lift it up to put the shifter into Compound or "C".

Let me back out just a little bit and show you the dipstick, I don't think there would be 2. Also I don't think you would have a dipstick that you have to remove 2 screws to remove it

Buck, you posted the answer while I was posting another picture.

What does the compound gear do?

 

[normde2001]

It lets you shift into super low, (creeper), range, which is of no use, whatsoever.

Primary use is tilling new ground but is also a good way to see all four seasons while driving from the barn to the field.
