A cruise bar (40) is provided for use with a lawn tractor (10). The lawn tractor (10) includes a frame (18), driving means (14) for use in driving the lawn tractor (10), a first drive wheel (16a) for use in driving the lawn tractor (10), a console (13) that is operatively connected to the frame (18), and a first control lever (15) for use in controlling the speed and direction of the lawn tractor (10). The cruise bar (40) is used to limit the motion of the first control lever (15). The first control lever (15) is operatively connected to the driving means (14) and to the first drive wheel (16a). The first control lever (15) is selectively moveable in a first direction (36). The cruise bar (40) limits the motion of the first control lever (15) in the first direction (36) and is operatively connected to the console (13). The cruise bar (40) may be adjusted relative to the first control lever (15) thereby providing a method for limiting the top speed of the lawn tractor (10).
