Gear reduction on the engine and it's using the 1st/2nd gear leaver. must have another leaver on the reverse selector.
Maybe it was used as a Tug at a small airport or something? I've seen some strange looking airport tugs before.

I would say it is a 3 speed and the shifter is connected to 1st/Rev fork, it appears nothing connected to 2nd/3rd fork
Also appears to be a hand clutch as was used in the self powered, pull combines as well as balers back in the day before live power.
as light as it is, I doubt it pulled anything like a plane, even a small one on a grassy strip.
The engine does look like a Wisconsin.
Somebody took time to build it with thought/craftsmanship not a cobbled glob of welded cow chit like we so often see.
