When I was a teenager, Dad bought a 1938 F-20 to replace the tired old regular.  That F-20 was equipped with factory 38" rear tires on cast wheels and a factory road gear (4Th).  It would not move as fast as fifth gear in the later M, but at 10-12 MPH, it was pretty fast for curvy farm lanes.  Just what I liked at that age.  As I recall, the shift pattern had the extra gear between the other two gears on the bottom side of the H pattern where the lever was pulled toward the driver.  It seems reverse and fourth were the two pushed forward positions, and the pulled back positions were 1, 3, and 2 in that order.  At any rate, that tractor was a real worker.
