Interesting idea on the pedal. Brother just got a gas 450 not too long ago but haven't spent any time on it. Something to check out the next time I get to visit.
For me, I like foot clutches, but the hand clutches are easier to work and easier to feather. My TD18s have a 17 inch main clutch rated for 1500 foot pound torque continuous use and they feather very well with two fingers. The TD18 (a '49) has a standard button clutch (round pads) and it mostly likes to be either in or out, the 18A has a newer style button type with somewhat rectangular pads and it is very smooth, and I'm not sure what is in the 182. All three work much better than the foot clutch on an M. You just don't have to fight that spring pressure.
Steering clutches? That is another story for sure. There is a reason they added hydraulic boosters to them things :lol:
Do any of the IH wheel tractor clutches use button style or are they all fiber surfaced?
