[AT] different type of tractor question

[Richard Walker]

Greg - Sounds like an ideal application to actuate your clutch from a 
lever-operated master-slave cylinder hydraulic combination. There are 
numerous pedal-operated hydraulic conversions used for hot 
rod/aftermarket clutches, I googled and found a basic overview:

Custom designing to actuate by a lever instead of a pedal is a doable 
variation that could be fabricated in your farm shop.
