Abstract: A convertible box blade scraper apparatus includes a frame assembly including a first sidewall, a second sidewall, one or more shank support cross-members, a first blade support cross-member having a first scraper blade secured thereto, a second blade support cross-member extending between and secured to the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and having a second scraper blade and a leveling blade secured thereto, and a moldboard support cross-member, the moldboard support cross-member having a moldboard support longitudinal center axis. The apparatus further includes an elongated moldboard having an arc-shaped front surface that extends between a moldboard top edge and a moldboard bottom edge, the moldboard including one or more pivot arms rotatably coupled to the moldboard support cross-member to provide the moldboard with a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis is coincident with the moldboard support longitudinal center axis, and further including a hitch assembly.

Abstract: An adjustable seat support permits attaching and adjusting an operator's seat on a vehicle for both forward and rear facing operation. Also disclosed is a method for attaching and adjusting an operator's seat on a vehicle can be selectively positioned for both forward and rear facing operation.

Abstract: A connecting apparatus and method of using the apparatus provide for attaching an implement to a utility vehicle that has a 3-point hitch including lower lift arms and connecting arms attached to rockshaft arms. The attachment apparatus and corresponding method include a lift support attached to the lower lift arms of the 3-point hitch. This combination of the lift support and lower lift arms provides for the hydraulic positioning of the implement, so that the implement (and/or brackets attached to the implement) may be attached to the utility vehicle (and/or brackets attached to the utility vehicle) without removing the lower lift arms and connecting arms.

Abstract: A rockshaft assist quick-attach apparatus for mounting a cantileverly supported implement, such as a backhoe, to a tractor, and also a method of using the tractor's rockshaft arms in conjunction with rockshaft arm receiving members, tractor brackets and implement mountable brackets to assist in attaching a cantileverly supported implement, such as a backhoe to the tractor. The apparatus comprising tractor brackets, rockshaft arm receiving members and implement mountable brackets. Wherein, when attaching the implement, the rockshaft arms are lowered to their down most position. The tractor is backed toward the implement until it is in close proximity and in substantial alignment fore and aft with the implement. The rockshaft arms are raised until the rockshaft arms engage the rockshaft arm receiving members. Further raising of the rockshaft arms causes upward movement of the implement.

Abstract: A loader includes a pair of rear supports projecting transversely outwardly from a longitudinally extending tractor frame. The loader further includes a pair of posts having receptacles at the bottoms thereof which are received about the rear supports when the posts are in upright dispositions, the receptacles being shaped for then retaining the posts on the supports. A weight bracket forms a bumper at the forward end of the tractor and a yoke extends forwardly from the posts and has a bight portion including a remotely operable releasable latch mechanism which releasably latches the bight portion to the weight bracket.
