  • Patent number: 7938479
    Abstract: A power machine having a frame, an engine, a cab defining an operator compartment having an access opening, and a door capable of being attached to the cab adjacent the opening is discussed. A hinge includes first and second hinge components attached to the cab and the door, respectively. A hinge securing mechanism for securing the second hinge component to the door is attached to the door. The mechanism includes a shaft with a handle moveable between first and second positions coupled to its first end and a protrusion extending radially proximal to its second end. The shaft extends through a bore in the door so that the handle is proximal to an interior surface and the protrusion is proximal to an exterior surface of the door. The shaft extends through an aperture in the second hinge component when the second hinge component is mounted to the door.

  • Patent number: 7798260
    Abstract: A track vehicle includes a cab operable to support an operator. Left and right motors each rotate an output shaft at a first speed, and a speed reduction system is operably coupled to each output shaft. Left and right drive shafts are driven by the speed reduction system at a second speed that is slower than the first speed. Left and right drive sprockets are mounted for rotation with the respective first and second drive shafts. Left and right track carriages support the cab and left and right tracks are mounted for rotation about the track carriages in response to rotation of the respective left and right drive shafts, such that the left and right tracks are driven by the left and right drive sprockets to move the track vehicle along a ground surface.

  • Publication number: 20060016185
    Abstract: An adjustable arm assembly is drivably coupled to a control shaft and is moved by a link that has a centered position. The arm has two portions that are releasably clamped together. A first arm portion is connected to drive the control shaft. A second arm portion is connected to the link. The adjustment includes a clamp that will releasably clamp the two arm portions together in a fixed position, and an adjustment screw is used to adjust the relative rotational position of the first and second arm portions to move the first arm portion to position the control shaft in a centered position relative to second arm portion, when the second arm portion is in a spring return position. The arm portions are then clamped together.
