I don't think I have ever seen any type of operating handle like that on any "O" I have seen. It does not appear to have any pto at the rear so it must be a PO add on for one thing or another. Maybe it came from WVA, they have some pretty steep hills back in them thar hollers down there. Seriously if it is not an operating lever I would guess possibly it was used by a handicapped operator to assist somehow for mounting and or dismounting.
