ABSTRACT:
An operator control console and motion/speed linkage assembly for a bidirectional vehicle is provided. The operator console includes a platform, an operator seat attached to the platform and integral control and steering units. The operator console is mounted for rotational movement around a bearing ring. An interface link in the linkage assembly includes a rotatable sleeve supporting a pin attached to a throttle cable which actuates the reversible valve of the hydrostatic drive of the vehicle. When the control lever is in the neutral position, the pin and supporting sleeve extend along the rotational or pivot axis of the console. The rotatable sleeve swings about an axis substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis, acting to operate the throttle cable which in turn actuates the hydrostatic drive of the vehicle. When the platform is rotated to switch the direction of vehicle movement, the rotatable sleeve freely pivots around the pin to provide proper operator orientation and throttle operation.
