Abstract

A cruise control assembly for use in connection with a hydraulic pump and a control arm linked to a swash plate that is moveable to provide the swash plate with a plurality of non-discrete angular orientations to affect fluid displacement of the hydraulic pump. The cruise control assembly generally includes a rod connected to and moveable with the control arm and a clamp for selectively engaging the rod to inhibit movement of the control arm so as to maintain the swash plate in one of the plurality of non-discrete angular orientations.
