John Deere B hand clutch

[Pat H.]

I have a question for you John Deere guys (and girls): could a JD B be ordered to have a hand clutch on either side?

No. There have been a few pictures floating around out there that at first glance appear to have the flywheel and clutch switched, but upon further inspection, have been digitally flipped over. Kind of like the famous picture of Billy the Kid that made everyone think he was a lefty. Some rifle experts noticed that his rifle appeared to load from the wrong side. The negative had been flipped over when the picture was developed. He was actually right handed.

If you look at some of the bargain t-shirts etc out there , the clutch /pulley is on the wrong side too. Just what poster above said.
