ABSTRACT:
A directional drive transmission control system drivingly coupling a rotary output drive source of a powered vehicle with a pair of drive wheels thereof, includes right and left pairs of forward and reverse drive pulleys rotatably mounted on and rotatable relative to right and left transverse drive shafts and drivingly connected with the rotary output drive source so as to rotatably drive forward and reverse drive pulleys in opposite directions. The directional drive transmission control system also includes right and left pairs of clutches mounted to the respective right and left transverse drive shafts and a drive direction control mechanism movable from a neutral position in either first or second opposite directions for actuating concurrently first or second ones of the clutches of the right and left pairs thereof to drivingly interengage and cause rotation of the right and left transverse drive shafts with respective forward or reverse drive pulleys of the right and left pairs thereof and thereby rotation and movement of the drive wheels in either forward or reverse directions.
