A steering lever system for controlling forward traveling and reverse traveling of a work vehicle, the system comprising:

• a pair of lever bodies;
• a pivotal body coupled to each of the lever bodies, the pivotal body including a second boss portion and a first boss portion, wherein the lever body is pivotable about a first pivot axis of the first boss portion from a neutral position to a neutral end position, and the lever body is also pivotable about a second pivot axis of the second boss portion from a forward traveling end position through a neutral position to a reverse traveling end position, the second pivot axis extending in a direction transverse to the first pivot axis;
• an auxiliary member fixed to the lever body, the auxiliary member forming a detected portion configured to create a pivotal locus that is laterally offset from a pivotal locus of the lever body about the first pivot axis;
• and
• a neutral position detector responsive to the detected portion at the neutral end position of the lever body, wherein the neutral position detector is actuated in the neutral position through contact with the detected portion and the detected portion is disposed on an opposite side of the lever body from the neutral position detector.
