As much as I hate to admit it, Allis WD or WD45 are probably the best recommendations given since they steer pretty easy too and there is still a foot clutch, but it is an extremely long reach to the foot clutch even for an adult. They can be bought cheap too and do have great engines.
As a young wipper snapper spent some time operating a JD B and a JD 60. I actually did not like the hand clutches back then as it only left me one hand to steer with and I did not have enough strength to steer those old manual steering tractors with one hand as a young lad.
Much preferred any foot clutch tractor we had as I could use 2 hands to steer- assuming I could both reach the clutch and that I had enough weight to push it down. Some of those old junkers we had I could easily reach the clutch but it required too much force to operate so I simply could not drive those tractors.
Thought I had died and gone to heaven when dad bought the Oliver 1800 (series A gasser). Power steering and a real easy to reach foot clutch that pushed down easier than even a Ford 8N clutch (and it was not a hydraulic assisted clutch either). Still my alltime favorite tractor to work ground with - and wish I still had it altough it would be way too big for my measley acreage now.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
