A continuously variable transmission pedal control system 100 includes a forward pedal 102 connected to a forward pivoting bracket 110, a reverse pedal 104 connected to a reverse pivoting bracket 112, a first spring 124 connecting the forward pivoting bracket to a linkage such as a bell crank 128 at a first attachment point, and a second spring 126 connecting the reverse pivoting bracket 112 to the linkage at a second attachment point. The linkage may be connected by a motion control rod 134 to a continuously variable transmission that provides a variable forward traction drive speed based on a position of the forward pedal and a variable reverse traction drive speed based on a position of the reverse pedal. The springs 124, 126 serve the purpose of biasing each of the pedals 102, 104 to the neutral position, and may also limit the maximum force applied by the pedals to the CVT and linkage. |
