[AT] DC Case

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

The 39-40 DC was the same as a CC and had the clutch lever on the right 
that pulled back to engage.  Then the clutch lever moved to the left 
side and you pushed forward to engage.  In 52, both brake pedals went to 
the right side and you could get live power and an eagle hitch.  In 53 
or 54 they went to a foot clutch.

I never really had a problem figuring out the clutch levers.  We had an 
MM ZA, an AC WD45, several SC Cases, several DC Cases, and a couple of 
JD two cylinders.  Every one of them had a different way of operating 
the hand clutch.  You just had to remember which tractor you were driving.
