Never seen a side engined jcb (other than the 526 type) with manual 4 speed before! Thought they all powershift! No bad thing imo nice and simple.
Definitely gear shift
is the rear yellow lever not aux service rather than gear lever?
What makes you think it's manual?
They weren't ever made as manual.
The sticker below the lever shows it as the 3rd service, you sure you don't have twist grip gears?
Seller told it came out the factory with it, every part looks genuineIf it has a retro fitted hitch, all be it a genuine one, then whoever did it, went to the trouble of fitting the stick for the hitch release handle! Could it be a genuine factory fit????

They have a de-clutch button on the levers so your not fighting the transmission while braking,the 3rd service lever pushes across so it does in effect feel like it has 4 positions.Had a go at it yesterday, press button and 4 notches like my friends 526s gear selector
