Inexpensive 2N clutch pedal

[wsmm]

I'd like to find an inexpensive 2N clutch pedal to modify so I can use my 2N. Having to push it straight down really hurts my leg and hip. I'd like to modify it so that it works more like a clutch pedal in a car or truck. Also if any one has plans for a modified 2n clutch pedal that they would share I'd appreciate it. At 81 years old with a bad back,hips and legs I'd still like to get a few more years of use out of my 2N.
Thanks,
Bill

I have a 2N parts tractor and I think the pedal is still on it

A quick search found this post from April 2016. The ideas sound good.

9n 2n 8n Brake and Clutch Modifications

Me and my husband have been searching for an aftermarket kit or a way to design a better set up on both our 9n and 8n for the angle which is needed to press the brake and clutch... instead of being able to extend our leg out and press the brake and clutch at about a 45 degree angle, the operator...

Here’s one that is mounted to the homemade floorboard on one of my early ‘39 9n. Maybe you can rig something similar

Do you have a picture of how it is attached to the clutch shaft on the tractor. Looks kind of what I was thinking of.

when I had knee surgery I made a hand clutch just by welding a shaft on to the pedal area and having it bent properly, worked great

If you don't find you a pedal, here's what worked for me. Same as you, age, back, knees etc.. I drilled another hole in the seat spring about one inch forward of the front hole to move the seat back. added a 2x4 and 1x4 between the seat spring and top cover to raise the seat up. Shadetree, yes. Made a world of difference, operate that clutch almost like before things went south.

That was my first thought as well. I had a left hip replaced too in 2013 and for a while it was clutch-sensitive.

But drilling and bolting or welding a rod to the pedal and having the rod swept up to the drivers left by the seat would be perfect. At any point you could just heat it red and re-bend it for the optimal positioning. Put a nice bicycle hand grip on the end. It would also eliminate the possibility of a muddy boot slipping off the pedal or your left boot or pant leg catching the greasy steering linkage there.
A ferry worker gave me some of the black and yellow non slip industrial tape that they use on stairs etc., and it works great and lasts.
