That lever is activated when you put the tractor transmission shift lever into the "B" position (pretty much another neutral position) on the shifting platform. It is part of the "Twin Power" feature which was a system which allowed the governor to enable the engine to rev higher when the tractor was doing "belt work", hence the B on the shifting platform. I believe your tractor decal should read 101 Super Twin Power. If you get someone to sit on the tractor and put the tranny into the "B" position, you will notice that the little lever you mention jumps forward (or back, I can't remember). There would originally have been a control rod between this little lever you speak of and a control cam on one of the shafts on the side of the governor. It (the long shaft and the little cam) is obviously missing on your tractor. I'm not exactly sure how this sort of "bypassed" the governor for throttle control at the governor end, but it did. I have two 101 Twin Power Juniors. The first one was like yours, I saw that little system there and could never figure it out. When I got the second tractor, it was on and hooked up. After I restored the tractor, I never put it back on since I wasn't doing any belt work and also it was just another linkage in the way.
