As much as I hate to admit it, Allis WD or WD45 are probably the best recommendations given since they steer pretty easy too and there is still a foot clutch, but it is an extremely long reach to the foot clutch even for an adult. They can be bought cheap too and do have great engines.
As a young wipper snapper spent some time operating a JD B and a JD 60. I actually did not like the hand clutches back then as it only left me one hand to steer with and I did not have enough strength to steer those old manual steering tractors with one hand as a young lad.
Much preferred any foot clutch tractor we had as I could use 2 hands to steer- assuming I could both reach the clutch and that I had enough weight to push it down. Some of those old junkers we had I could easily reach the clutch but it required too much force to operate so I simply could not drive those tractors.
Thought I had died and gone to heaven when dad bought the Oliver 1800 (series A gasser). Power steering and a real easy to reach foot clutch that pushed down easier than even a Ford 8N clutch (and it was not a hydraulic assisted clutch either). Still my alltime favorite tractor to work ground with - and wish I still had it altough it would be way too big for my measley acreage now.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
