Abstract
A steering arrangement for construction vehicles and the like comprises a steering column assembly pivotally mounted on a stationary support for selective adjustment about a pivot axis disposed transversely relative to such assembly. A steering handle, rotatably mounted on the assembly, is operatively connected to a steering valve by linkage means for selectively steering a vehicle in response to rotation of the steering handle. The linkage means includes a push-pull cable having its upper end pivotally mounted about a pivot axis coincident with the pivot axis about which the steering column assembly is pivotally mounted on the stationary support to prevent actuation of the steering valve upon adjustment of the steering column assembly.
