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.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
