Is it a manual shift, with a transmission mounted shifter, 3 or 4 forward speeds and a reverse, a spring loaded pressure plate and clutch?
Or is it a hydraulic, single speed, forward, neutral, reverse lever on the steering column, no real clutch, just a torque converter?
It's most likely the latter. If that is the case, the left pedal is not really a clutch. It is a combo brake/inching valve. It can be used to disengage the drive so the engine can be revved to quickly raise the mast without having to take it out of gear. Then if fully pressed, it will apply the brakes.
The right pedal is just brakes.
It's possible that the brake system is out of fluid or not functioning for some reason.
It is also possible that the inching cylinder (incorporated into the left pedal) is stuck in the release position.
As for an electric switch, some transmissions are solenoid controlled from an electric switch on the steering column, no mechanical shift linkage at all. If that is the case, there may be a safety lock out switch, or an electrical connection problem in the shift switch or wiring.
This sounds confusing, but it's really simple once you get the concept of it. More information will be helpful.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
