Abstract: A single motor steering system is disclosed. One example embodiment is a steering system, comprising: first and second steerable wheels coupled to first and second wheel gears, respectively; a controller that generates a motor control signal based on an input signal; a steering motor configured to rotate a driven steering gear based on the motor control signal, wherein the driven steering gear is mechanically linked to a linked steering gear configured to rotate with the driven steering gear, wherein the driven steering gear is coupled to the first wheel gear such that rotation of the driven steering gear rotates the first wheel gear and the first steerable wheel to a first angle, and wherein the linked steering gear is coupled to the second wheel gear such that rotation of the linked steering gear rotates the second wheel gear and the second steerable wheel to a second angle.

Abstract: A chute control assembly for a snow thrower having a housing, handle, and a chute includes a control mechanism, a connecting mechanism, and a guide mechanism. The control mechanism includes an actuator mechanism that allows an operator to manually control the orientation of the chute from a position spaced apart from the chute. The connecting mechanism transfers rotation of the actuator mechanism to the guide mechanism. The guide mechanism is attached to the chute and rotates and adjust the orientation of the chute in response to rotation of the actuator mechanism in order to change the direction that snow is thrown from the snow thrower.

Abstract: A passive self-adjusting seat assembly for a lawn maintenance vehicle having a frame. The passive self-adjusting seat assembly includes a base, a guide assembly attached to the base, and a platform assembly that is selectively movable or slidable relative to the guide assembly in order to maintain an operator in an upright or substantially vertical orientation as the lawn maintenance vehicle traverses uneven or sloped ground. The seat assembly further including a locking assembly for selectively locking the sliding or movement of the platform assembly relative to the guide assembly.
