You need to have "three feet"- one for the gas, one for the cluth and the other to hit the brake to help slow you down. You will be revving your engine plenty hard to be able to shift down at anything over 15 or 20 mph, they are really low geared. I have driven many of these old rigs with out a cluth linkage. Makes for fun to start them in gear. But I don't like driving them without brakes.
