A steering brake and clutch control for a crawler vehicle includes a pair of primary control levers, each of which, when operated by itself, acts through a spring to first effect disengagement of normally pressure-engaged clutch and then through a linkage to effect engagement of a brake. The clutch control levers are interconnected so that simultaneous actuation of the primary control levers results in both brakes being engaged without the clutches being disengaged. A pair of brake control levers have respective one-way connections with the pair of primary control levers and are spring-biased for simultaneously actuating the primary control levers to effect brake engagement. A pressure-operated plunger assembly is operative to maintain the brake control levers away from the primary control levers so long as sufficient hydraulic system pressure exists for normal operation.
