Looks like an aftermarket road gear.

I second what ET said. Behlen was a manufacture, not sure if they were the only one?

How would I use it when I get the tractor running?

Didn't M&W make a road gear for the four speed Deeres? A farmer here had a 1940 A that had an add on 5th gear. I'm sure he told me it was M&W. He bought the
tractor brand new on his 20th birthday.

It's a 2-speed over drive. Put the main
shifter in neutral, and use the black
knob to select either low overdrive or
high overdrive.. Hang on- in high over
you could hit 20-25 mph instead of the
normal 5 mph. Tight steering (no slop)
is critical.

Its a Hysler or Behlen overdrive
