1. A control lever calibration system, comprising:
a control lever moveable in a work vehicle;
a neutral switch activated by the control lever in a neutral position;
an electronic sensor providing signals for the position of the control lever; and
an electronic controller saving the position signals of the electronic sensor when the neutral switch is activated; mapping the position signals of the electronic sensor to traction drive motor commands for the work vehicle; and saving the position signals of the electronic sensor each time the position signal exceeds a previously stored position range.
