That's the ether bottle. There is a switch in the cab, during cold weather it gives the engine a metered shot of ether to help starting. There is also a thermostatic switch in the coolant manifold to disable it when the weather is warm.

Edit: There is a ton of information on the "Ether Start Kits" in the forum. A quick search will turn up as much information as you could ever want. I circled where the thermostatic switch is located and the arrow is pointing to the panel behind the drivers side headlight. There should be a clamp for a spare bottle mounted there.
