Looking for a foot operated valve to replace a lever action 4-way valve on an H-frame shop press

I got a 'good deal' on a slightly damaged 10-ton electric hydraulic press that I want to use for light forging. It works well enough as is, but it would be more convenient with a foot pedal. So far it looks like my options are to replace the valve with an air actuated one, or rig a pedal to mechanically drive the lever on this model.

There has to be a better way
