Thanks for the responses, one tractor had 3pt, the other was on my 44d1wh with no 3pt, looks to me somewhere along the wide axles life it got a foot clutch and a custom linkage was built for the hand clutch to over ride the foot clutch...a mystery finally solved.
more pictures and images would be wonderful.
anyone have a 44 hand clutch bellhousing etc?
thanks
