ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for use in a vehicle having a source of pressurized fluid and a pair of hydraulic drive motors connected to the pressurized fluid source and powered thereby. First and second ground engaging devices are connected to and driven by the first and second motors, respectively. The apparatus includes first and second control members, each being positionable at a plurality of locations for indicating a desired speed and direction for a respective drive motor. First and second actuators are adapted to sense the position of the first and second control members, respectively, and responsively control the direction and rate of fluid flow to the first and second drive motors. A set switch is movable between first and second positions and is adapted to produce a set speed signal in the second position. A set speed device is provided for receiving the set speed signal and operating the drive motors at a constant speed in response to the set speed signal, wherein the speed of the motors is responsive to the position of the control members upon reception of the set speed signal.
