Abstract: A shift interlock mechanism that requires an operator to press a brake mechanism before changing transmission gears to prevent extra motion in the transmission, insuring a smoother shifting operation. The shift interlock mechanism with a brake arm that moves in a first direction to stop motion of at least a first ground engaging drive wheel and a shift arm that moves in a second direction to change movement of a vehicle.

Abstract: A modular engine design system utilizes selectively replaceable components whereby a family of related engines having varying power outputs may be produced. A first series of engines utilizes a common piston operable in a cylinder of first predetermined dimensions. The engine design may utilize a first or second crankshaft/connecting rod combination to vary the power output. A modified engine design utilizes a second cylinder in addition to the first cylinder. A second series of engines utilizes a larger piston operable in a cylinder of second predetermined dimensions. The second series of engines shares a common engine design scheme with the first series of engines. However, corresponding parts are adapted for use with the larger piston/cylinder combination. The second series of engines may likewise utilize a first or second crankshaft/connecting rod combination to vary the power output. Within each series of engines, modular design concepts are utilized to provide a range of power outputs.
