Abstract
A foot pedal is mounted on a control lever operatively connected to a hydrostatic transmission mechanism for a vehicle, for controlling forward and rearward movement of the vehicle. A damping member, operatively associated with the control lever, frictionally engages the pedal to restrain movement of the pedal and control lever, which movement may be caused by heavy vibration of the vehicle during travel over uneven terrain.
