I think they refer to it as an auxiliary control lever and was an added accessory on most models. There was a handle or knob where the threads were broken off and one could weld or braze a treated rod to the end and fix it. They are sometimes hard to find. Just an extra handy handle to control the injection pump/throttle.
PS: Go the wanted and for sale forum and ask for the Governor auxiliary control lever. That is how I found one for my D4.
Hi Hank,
The level in in the parts book under "fuel pump and governer control" part number is 2h4376 the knob is 7f8092.
Regards

I think Josh has a great idea to cut some more threads and get a knob. You might have to grind a little off to keep the proper OD on the threads but it looks like it wouldn't be much. Good luck.
I have done as others mentioned. Use a die and thread enough to add the knob;welded a "leg" from a discarded lever/control; cut off the head of a NF bolt and welded on as well.
Yes, because they are a pain to source at times, so you do what works at the time! JM

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
