  • Rotatable operator control station
    Patent number: 5086869
    Abstract: An operator's control station for a hydrostatically driven tractor in which the operator's control station is rotatable to orient the operator selectively in opposing directions is disclosed wherein a control panel having control devices for manipulating operative functions of the tractor is connected to a pan member supporting the seat cushion receiving the operator such that the control panel rotates with the operator's control station. The pan member is positioned above both the fore-and-aft adjustment mechanism and the height adjustment mechanism for the seat so that the control panel is maintained in a constant positional relationship relative to the operator irrespective of the adjusted position of the seat relative to the steering mechanism.
