Pardon my ignorance, but I am new to the AA's. My '29 AA dually bus has the 4 speed transmission with the finger switch for 1st and reverse. It also has either a hi/lo auxiliary transmission or a 2 speed axle . It is operated by an arm that lifts up just behind the main transmission tower. I don't know how to operate it. in the down position, the main operates normally. But when I lift it, everything seems to go to neutral. So the question is: how do I operate this thing?

Ford factory 1929 AA's did not come with dual rear wheels (nor could the 1929 axle accept dual wheels). Pictures of your truck would help id it. The 4-speed transmission did not come from Ford with the extra transmission referenced. Pictures would help id it. And, it is unlikely that the rear axle is a "2 speed".
As it turns out, it is a Warford. It is in line on the drive shaft behind my 4-speed transmission. The shift lever has 3 positions- bottom, midway, and up. How do I use it?

The Warford transmissions that I know of are three speeds (under, direct, and over). See attached
