Never seen one quite like that, I know they had them in the 47 ton trucks. They did not look like that one. Below are a couple pics of the pedal out of a 47 grain truck,

Just a guess. Could that be from a cab-over-engine truck?

Did the pedal had a little ball on the side of it for a hand throttle? To me is looks like a bent up and modified 32 ford B model

The elongated spoon makes it post-34.

The pedal on my 1941 tonner is a spoon and looks almost exactly like funrunr's photos.

I can't visualize that it could have ever started out as a 1932 4 cyl/Model B assembly (pictured).

I can by the length. I cut one down on the tube and reshaped the shaft but not as crude as that one.

But the spoon is different on this one

That style is the same 35 to 47 on the trucks

Did other auto manufacturers offer a spoon pedal?

Wonder if it's

off a piece of equipment? The Worthington tractors were made out of ford car and truck parts.

Appears, IMO, to be a modified/mangled '32 4cyl B .

Given the lever on the spoon end, it is more likely to have started out as a '33-'34 4-cylinder LHD assembly as shown in the top of the photo below.
