This rod connects to the clutch pivot and goes to a lever above the 4WD selector. It doesn't do anything when the clutch is depressed. And I suspect the 4WD doesn't engage. Part diags don't show this rod. What does it do?

I believe that is the brake pedal linkage on the left side of the tractor. The clutch pedal is using it as the pivot point but the inner portion is used but the left (inner) brake pedal to cross underneath the tractor. See the brake linkage diagram below.

And it looks like it has been severely damaged and is bent about 90 degrees out of proper position.
