  • Vehicle accessory power arrangement
    Patent number: 6942375
    Abstract: A vehicle with one or more accessory systems that are capable of drawing power from a flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid and utilizing that power toward their intended functionality. The vehicle has a powertrain including a primary internal combustion engine and driveline components that are operable to couple the driveline end of a crankshaft of the primary internal combustion engine to one or more driven ground-engaging components of the vehicle to move the vehicle along the ground. The vehicle includes a hydraulic pump that is coupled to the non-driveline end of the crankshaft and that provides a flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid for powering the accessory systems of the vehicle.
