An assembly is provided for controlling the ground speed of a vehicle having an operator seat, an engine and a variable speed transmission drivingly coupled to a pair of ground wheel. The transmission is selectively movable among neutral, forward and reverse drive positions. The assembly includes a transmission control shaft connected to said transmission for selectively controlling the transmission such that said vehicle is driven in either a forward or a reverse direction. A forward foot control pedal and a reverse foot control pedal are each connected to the transmission control shaft, as is a hand lever rod. A hand control has a cruise control function and a hand operation function, and is coupled to the hand lever rod for engagement with the transmission control shaft. The hand control includes a lever portion and a plate portion. The hand lever rod is operatively connected to the plate portion at a lost motion connection during the cruise control function of the hand control and at a rigid connection during the hand operation function of the hand control.
