In a vehicle, such as a lawn and garden tractor, having an engine that drives
a hydrostatic transmission and having forward and reverse pedals that control the
hydrostatic transmission, an operator-actuated transmission locking mechanism locks
the forward and reverse pedals in a neutral position. The vehicle includes a parking
brake that has a manually set portion to cause engagement of the parking brake.
The transmission locking mechanism is mechanically connected to the manually set
portion such that the manually set portion and the transmission locking mechanism
are actuated together.
