My 5640 is an SL Dual Power also. Didn't think they were that rare, but may be wrong.

The 40 series came out without dual power to begin with but Ford soon added dual power and the clutch button on shuttle lever.
SL are the rare ones, export market likes them.
SL DP is normal, as is SLE.

Probably 50:50 through the range as the SLE box was seen as 'more complicated' to fix.
8340 was SLE only.

Finally found the wires for disconnecting the 4 wheel braking on my 7840. I put the switch into the slot in the dash years ago but hadn't wired it up.
Grey and white wires that exit to right go to switch.

Best thing you can do to stop the ridiculous wear every time you brake. I did label the switch as a reminder. Remember to switch it back on in wet or slippery conditions.Finally found the wires for disconnecting the 4 wheel braking on my 7840.

It has taken me a while to find these wires, they were wrapped under everything.
Previous tractors have had this mod at first service. I was in there fitting switch for new leds.
The 7840 at work after it’s makeover, was a bit rushed at the end and not quite finished due to harvest being brought forward 3 weeks. Had to reuse its damaged nose cone after buying a ebay special and finding out it’s for a 4 cylinder .
Here’s it last night finished with the wheel paint hardly dry.
And here’s it at work today
Thanks to @Farmergrum for getting us sorted with parts we needed.

It looks really good, did you use the later NH Blue as it looks deeper than the "Ford" / early NH Blue when you look at the colour of the weight block?
