Abstract
In a propulsion unit having a hydrostatic drive, a pair of pedals are clamped to the axle in such a manner as to be comfortably positioned for the feet of the operator. The angular position of each pedal relative to the axle may be adjusted such that the two pedals may have different angular orientations if desired. One pedal may be comfortably positioned for directing forward motion of the vehicle while the other may be more comfortable for reverse motion.
