[AT] Rope operated clutch lever on John Deere 12-A combine with LUC engine

[Spencer Yost]

Yep.

Brice Adams just bought an LUC power unit  at the Portland show last week. I operated it myself as a matter of fact. If you hit him up he can give you plenty of pictures.  Being a power unit, it was just a lever without a rope or linkage , but  It had that rotating camlock you describe and you would get the idea from the pictures.

I was always kind of impressed by the way the clutch lever operated and thought of a possible application for one but have about searched myself silly trying to even find a picture of one. I don't even know what name to use for the mechanical concept. As I recall it, it used a small rotating advancing captive triangle to lock / release the lever when you pulled the rope (or worked the lever by hand when standing at the engine to change from the separator to the unloading auger).
