This lever was in my pile of levers. Any ideas? Here side by side with a long one. Here is a short one added. Any ideas about it? Came from a Ford dealer back in the day.

Off a Fordson Model F

Thanks George.

I'm glad that this question was asked and has Been answered, I found a lever that looks the same whilst clearing my late father's garage and thought it had a Ford look but was not quite the same as anything on my model T.
The Fordson model F makes perfect sense as my Grandfather had one on his farm back in the 1930s, my question is what exactly does it do on a model F?

Dan,
Here is the June 1927, parts manual. It shows part number S-489-B, Throttle control rod lever. If you look at part number S-488-B you will see the rod assembled with the lever on the left end. This rod goes from the dash on the tractor along the top of the engine to the carburetor or vaporizer. The operator control for the throttle is mounted under the steering wheel with a short rod, I believe S487 going down to the part you have.
Sorry its been a while since playing with Fordson's so most of this is from memory.
Hope it helps,
Kevin
