Abstract
A travel speed change apparatus for a farm vehicle in which a first speed change mechanism and a second speed change mechanism coact to change the travelling speed. The first and second speed change mechanisms are operable by manipulating a single hand lever movable in two different directions and not two independent levers. This single lever is adapted to actuate the first and second speed change mechanisms by moving in the same direction.
Claims4
A travel speed change apparatus for a farm vehicle comprising a first speed change mechanism and a second speed change mechanism co-operative to change travelling speed, characterized in that, for actuating said two speed change mechanisms by means of a single hand lever (17) movable in two different directions, a first speed change operation course (A) for actuating said first speed change mechanism is provided to orientate in a first direction, auxiliary operation courses (B1), (B2) are provided to extend in a second direction respectively from plural speed change positions (Q1), (Q2) of said first speed change operation course (A), and a plurality of second speed change operation courses (C1), (C2) for actuating said second speed change mechanism are provided to extend in thr first direction respectively from said auxiliary operation courses (B1), (B2).
