Tim, go to this link and download one of the 175 owner's manuals and I'm sure you'll find the info you're looking for.

Remember you have 2 different shift modes, selected by a lever on the left side of engine. when its in 5 speed mode, neutral is at the top. push DOWN for first, then push Down for second, third etc. You pull UP to downshift.  The 4 speed  ROTARY MODE is hard to explain, though it can be conventient. SEE OWNERS MANUAL. . These gear change patterns disappeared in the 1960's  or   early 1970's.
