Has any one changed the clutch on a B112 from the left side to the right?

Why would you? I don't think with out major modifications, it can be done.

I want pull with it and I want to put a foot throttle on it.

wouldn't be easier to just mount your foot throttle where the clutch isn't?

Looking at my B-210, it should be fairly easy. Can't see clear enough to be sure, but this method should clear the steering gear. You'd need to install a bushing on the left side, like the one on the right. Either weld one in, or use the older style, bolt in bushing. Put it directly across from the original right side bushing. Run a shaft all the way through. Leave enough shaft on the right side to add a washer and cotter pin against the outside of the original bushing. Drill out the oblong hole on the lever that bolts to the pedal, or fabricate a new lever. Slip that on the shaft, install the washer and cotter pin, then tack weld the lever in it's proper location, against the right side bushing. Remove the cotter pin and washer, slide the shaft out of the bushing and weld the lever to the shaft. You'll need to do this so you don't melt the plastic bushings. When cool, slide the shaft back in place, re-install the washer, cotter pin, and reconnect the linkage. Fabricate a left side pedal and tack it to the shaft on the left side, up against the bushing. Again remove the cotter pin, washer, and disconnect the linkage so you can slide the shaft out to finish welding the pedal. When cool, reassemble and you should have it made. Only problem I can see with such a setup would be future bushing replacement on the left hand side. Then again, these bushings have lasted for years and may never need replacement.
