Electric Clutch
 ✖  |
An electric-actuated clutch helps Dale Bronk, who has both upper and lower body impairments, operate his tractor. He operates the clutch with a dash-mounted toggle switch. A long metal pin was simply inserted in place of the clevis pin holding the clutch pedal to the clutch linkage. A 12-v. actuator installed on the tractor frame below the pin pushes on the pin to disengage the clutch and the clutch spring re-engages it. Red and green lights indicate when the clutch is in the engaged or disengaged position. Another toggle switch, also located on the panel, is used to cut off fuel supplies in emergencies.
