The lever could be part of a reverse gear mechanism.

Damn, didn't spot that or else I'd have asked the owner

For anyone who might be interested, it was built by the Custom Quad Shack & will be up for sale very soon - somewhere in the region of £10 000 I believe.

I reckon it's a parking brake - see how it's latched on.

I don't think it could have a reverse gear, the drive system is as normal - chain to rear sprocket, live axle straight off that - so there's nothing external, and I can't imagine there'd be room to do anything internal to add an idler for reverse rotation.

The quad looks like a really upmarket ride-on lawnmower, where do you put the grass box?
