A Homemade Removable Hand Control with Clamping-Style Base, as an alternative to a permanent (e.g., welded-on) lever, can be used with different machinery if need be and/or removed when the particular machine is operated by others. In the example shown, the lever is simply round bar stock bent to accommodate the user that can be clamped to a brake pedal, clutch pedal, or hydrostatic transmission control pedal.
