Abstract
A riding lawn care vehicle () may include a frame (), a steering assembly (), a brake assembly (), and a mechanical brake linkage assembly (). At least a first drive wheel () and a second drive wheel () of the riding lawn care vehicle () may be attachable to the frame (). The steering assembly () may include a first steering lever () and a second steering lever (), where the first and second steering levers () are operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels () respectively to facilitate turning of the riding lawn care vehicle () based on drive speed control of the first and second drive wheels () responsive to positioning of the first and second steering levers () along a first direction when the first and second steering levers are in an operating position. The brake assembly may be operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels () to enable brakes to be selectively applied to the first and second drive wheels (). The mechanical brake linkage assembly () may be configured to activate the brake assembly () relative to the first and second drive wheels () in response to movement of the first and second steering levers () in a direction parallel to the first direction after the first and second steering levers () have been moved from the operating position to a non-operating position.
