Power take-offs were common on the larger trucks. Ran winches, pumps,
etc. You would need a manual throttle for these options.

Subject: [oletrucks] throttle pull knob
Been emailing a guy back and forth, and now the topic of the throttle
located on the dash of the TF trucks has come up. Any guesses to the
actual
intended function of the feature? Anybody ever heard of running a saw,
of
some sort, driven by a large flat belt--off of what I haven't a clue. He
stated that he'd heard of uses such as this where a tug on the throttle
pull knob would rev up the engine for cutting wood purposes. What real
function did it serve?
