ABSTRACT:
A traction lock for a vehicle, such as skid steer loader, which provides a lock member that engages rotary drive elements in to the final traction drive of the vehicle. The lock member is operated by signals that indicate a condition on the vehicle, such as the absence of an operator on an operator seat. The lock member is controlled by a solenoid which when energized will retract the lock member from a locking position and hold it retracted and when the solenoid is de-energized, the lock member moves to intercept a lug on a rotary drive element.
