The cylinder on the RH side is the spring assisted transmission brake linkage. It's an aftermarket item from Hi-Cap. I had one on my 1206 and didn't notice where it made much of a difference in effort needed to depress the pedal.
The clutch itself does not have an "assist" unless one from a 66 series was added to it. IF it was, there would be a large cylinder located midway in the linkage from the clutch pedal to the bellcrank.
My guess on why your pedal is hard to depress is that a Heavy Duty PPA is installed in the tractor. The springs on a HD PPA are much stronger than a stock PPA. This setup virtually eliminates any clutch slippage. The drawback is that the pedal press much harder.
To fix this you can replace the HD PPA with a lighter one OR buy a 2-stick MACK truck and drive it on mountain roads or in a busy city (to build up leg strength), or sell the tractor.
