A riding lawn care vehicle comprising:

• a frame to which wheels of the riding lawn care vehicle are attachable;
• at least one hydraulic motor configured to independently power one or more wheels;
• a transmission operably coupled to the at least one hydraulic motor;
• a return to neutral assembly operably coupled to the transmission;
• and
• a steering assembly operably coupled to the return to neutral assembly,
• wherein the return to neutral assembly comprises:
• a mounting bracket configured to operably couple the return to neutral assembly to a transmission of the riding lawn care vehicle;
• an adjustment lever operably coupling the steering assembly of the riding lawn care vehicle to a transmission shaft of the transmission proximate to a first end of the adjustment lever;
• a torsion spring disposed coaxially with the transmission shaft;
• and
• an eccentric adjustment assembly defining a neutral position for the adjustment lever,
• wherein the torsion spring comprises a first leg and a second leg,
• wherein the first leg and the second leg each extend proximate to the adjustment lever at a second end of the adjustment lever and to the eccentric adjustment assembly when the adjustment lever is at the neutral position, and
• wherein one of the first leg or the second leg loses contact with the eccentric adjustment assembly while maintaining contact with the adjustment lever when the adjustment lever is moved away from the neutral position.
