[AT] Test clutch lever

[Brian VanDragt]

Here's a funny story about clutch handles. Back in the 40's my grandpa had an AOS on his fruit farm. The AOS has a horizontal clutch handle. You pull it up to engage and push it down to disengage. Being the only John Deere on the farm at the time, the hired hands all were used to how it worked. Then in 1952, grandpa got a new styled AO that had the normal vertical handle that everybody is familiar with. One day grandpa saw a hired hand almost put the new AO in the pond because he couldn't find the clutch handle where he was used to it being. So the next day, the hired hand found that grandpa welded another horizontal clutch handle to the vertical one so you had your choice of clutch handles in a panic situation.
