A mechanism for mounting a forward pedal and a reverse pedal to a vehicle. T he forward pedal is fixed to a primary shaft, and the reverse pedal is fixed to a secondary shaft. A control arm and control rod operatively extend between the primary shaft a nd atransmission. A linkage extends between the reverse pedal and the primary shaft for pivoting the primary shaft and shifting the control rod in reverse direction s such that the transmission shifts to reverse modes when the operator engages the reverse p edal. The linkage includes a reverse arm coupled with the primary shaft, and a reverse link extending between the reverse arm and the reverse pedal. A bracket member fixed to a f loor plate of the vehicle supports the primary and secondary shafts, and is fixed to the v ehicle generally directly beneath the foot of the operator. The bracket member supports each shaft at at least two locations laterally spaced a substantial distance. Mating shapes a re defined between the reverse arm and the primary shaft for fixing the primary shaft f or rotation with the reverse arm. Mating shapes are also defined between the reverse shaft an d reverse pedal for transmitting pivotal motion therebetween. The reverse link is conf ined in engagement with the reverse pedal and the reverse arm by abutment with the b racket member. |
