U1300L/37 Dash Decals: Variations and Meanings Explained
These are recreations of the decals that go on either side of the shift lights on the dash of a U1300L/37 and other models.
I don’t know how many variations of this exist. If you have a different one, please send me a photo.
I also don’t know what half of this stuff means.
- The 1-8 shift pattern is obviously the main trans shifter.
- The two “P”s are obviously parking brake but I don’t know why there are three positions (mine is either on or off) and the word “TEST” is a mystery.
- The bottom left box is how to engage the PTO with the clutch and the knob I assume.
- The stuff on the right side is still a mystery – I do not have any of this on my truck. Maybe it has to do with working and crawler gears.
- Turtle = slow
- Rabbit = fast
- Donkey = high torque, can carry heavy load?


Here are the photos I was working off of:


Mine are not perfect copies by any stretch. I took a bit of artistic license with line thicknesses, alignment, and sizing.
