It is definitely a lever for the exhaust lift-all. I have the exact
same thing on my 1946 A, even thought the rest of the rig has
been long gone. The operator pulled a rod which operated this
lever which in turn closed the flap in the attachment on top of
the manifold. That caused exhaust to travel through a pipe to
the the lift-all valve and to the cylinder. My uncle told me that it
worked pretty well, but it was slow and the exhaust corroded the
cylinder fairly rapidly. It was allegedly cheaper than hydraulics,
but not much of an alternative. It seems the old hand lifts
worked just as well.
