The separate lever to the right of the gearstick might be something to do with the grain lifter - it is probably hooked to the PTO. You can get underneath and see what it does easier than we can guess.
The small lever on the side of the gearstick is, I believe the reverse lockout.
As for the engine, lube the cylinders, rebuild (or at least clean and check) the distributor and carb and give it a try. There are many threads on here about starting an engine that has been sitting for a while.
Does the motor turn?
Judging from the front pics, the truck looks to be in nice shape.
