The long big lever along the left side of dash is for the PTO clutch. It is what you actually use to turn on and off the PTO. Forward is on (clutch engaged). With that lever back (PTO off) there should be a little bit of a catch such that you need to pull the lever back a little and then to the right before letting it forward to engage the PTO. Sometimes this is wore off and for safety reasons I like to make sure the catch is there. The catch is on a separately bolted on piece that can be replaced or built back up.
The lever at the base of the shift levers is strictly to switch PTO speeds or put the PTO in neutral. I usually will shift the PTO speed lever with the big PTO clutch lever not engaged with the tractor stopped with the clutch pressed and idling. It will grind gears a little regardless everytime I find. Note that the pictures I took are on our 130-06 which only has 1000rpm PTO, so the lever only is for 1000 rpm or neutral.
That PTO speed selection system on the 100/80 06 is much loved by many of its owners. We more or less consider it an early "economy 540" feature. It was common (when we still milked cows) for us to haul manure in the winter with our box spreader in 1000 rpm PTO speed even though it is a 540 spreader. We would just not run the engine fast as it is a low power job, especially with the common smaller daily load from the gutter cleaner from our barn. And then when it is cold and frozen we like to run the apron fully around at least once after it was unloaded (with beater off) to get chain a little dryer and loose in hopes it doesn't freeze. The 1000 rpm feature allowed that to happen faster. But you do have to be a little smart; don't run 540 rpm equipment in 1000rpm speed at full engine PTO speed.
Back off the soap box... You might be wondering why would that PTO speed lever have a neutral position? On the left side of the dash behind that big PTO clutch lever, there should be or was a sticker that says lever must be in forward position when not being used to disengage an implement (or something similar, going off memory). The sticker sounds a bit stricter than it really needs to be. Regardless, I cannot explain the clutch system, but I am told that with the PTO clutch disengaged it actually takes a little pressure off the main clutch. So when you are plowing, pulling heavy loads, or plainly not using the PTO for a while, you should have the PTO clutch (the big PTO lever) engaged (forward). It will help your clutch last longer and not as easily slip. If you do not like having the PTO shaft powered all the time with the PTO clutch engaged, then you can put the PTO speed selection lever in neutral and not worry about it...just don't forget about this when you want to use the PTO again. If you are really concerned about your clutch you could even put the speed selection lever in neutral when you have a PTO implement hooked up but not using and engage the PTO clutch. But it isn't that big of deal and you should not have to go to those measures, but you could.
I personally have not ever used the creeper range, but I know it is activated with the little lever on the floor back further from the shift levers closer to the seat, to the left of the differential lock pedal. You can see it in the picture I attached now. I think there are only 4 gears that work in creeper range. Now that I mentioned it and then you asked, I may have to try it out...
I hope this helps. Don't be afraid to ask more questions. I usually check the forums every evening during the work week and should catch every Deutz question. Good Luck!

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
