I purchased a 460 a couple of months ago, I have not used it, it is currently disassembled for "restoration". So, I'm not the expert. But, the lever you are referring to is part of the "Tel-A-Depth" system. A Blue Ribbon Service manual for it was included when I ordered the manuals from Binder Books. The individual manual is GSS-1032, it explains how the system works. I do not know if all 460/560's have this feature or not, but as to down pressure I will quote from the manual, manual's words not mine --"Since the Tel-A-Depth system was not designed to provide implement down pressure the Fast Hitch on the tractor should not be used as a jack for changing tread settings, tires, and so forth. The minimum overlap provided in the control valve is not adequate to prevent leakage from the cylinder when supporting the weight of the tractor". Would probably work for breaking beads though, unless you lifted the tractor off the ground. As the saying goes -- this is already more than I know.
