Default Re: Any idea what this is?

Chrs:
Have you climbed underneath to see what it is attached to?

My guess is that the motor that was installed had a starter that used a foot pedal. Foot pedal levered the starter drive into flywheel and engaged battery voltage simultaneously. Was popular in cars and trucks in early 1950's.

Hope that helps.
