Cat D5C

Does anyone know what the knob behind the forward/reverse shifter is on a D5C? Think it's a '97 model. It looks like a push button or something. Not my machine a guy sent me a pic and ask what it is for.

    Push it and see what happens, don't think they put ejection seats in that model OK, You did not mention a S/N or even a prefix, guy probably did not give that to you. The old "It's yellow and has tracks, so they are all the same idea" But I looked for at least one of many prefixes and got this picture: Not the clearest image but might be what you are seeing at your end. Hope that helps better than the smart *** first remark!
