  • Patent number: 11345403
    Abstract: An engine mounting system for a work vehicle includes an engine mount configured to support an engine on a frame of the work vehicle. The engine mount has an engine mounting portion and a frame connection portion, an extent of the frame connection portion along a lateral axis of the engine mount is greater than an extent of the engine mounting portion along the lateral axis, the engine mounting portion has an opening configured to receive a fastener configured to couple the engine to the engine mount, the frame connection portion has a substantially flat contact surface configured to engage a corresponding substantially flat contact surface of a frame member of the frame, and the engine mounting portion does not contact the frame member while the substantially flat contact surface of the frame connection portion is engaged with the corresponding substantially flat contact surface of the frame member.

  • Publication number: 20200123941
    Abstract: An agricultural system that includes a hydraulic fluid tank with a conduit. The hydraulic fluid tank receives and stores hydraulic fluid. A hydraulic fill system couples to and facilitates filling of the hydraulic fluid tank. The hydraulic fill system includes an arm that rotates with respect to the hydraulic fluid tank between an extended position and a retracted position. The arm defines a channel. A connector couples to the arm. The connector defines an opening that receives the hydraulic fluid. A flexible conduit rests within the channel. The flexible conduit includes a first end and a second end.

  • Patent number: 10371033
    Abstract: A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank for an off-road vehicle including a retaining bar configured to support the DEF tank and a channel molded into a side of the DEF tank. The channel is configured to interface with the retaining rod. The DEF tank further including a cutout formed within the channel, wherein the cutout establishes a gap between the retaining bar and a body of the DEF tank. The DEF tank also includes a drain channel molded into an exterior surface of the DEF tank. The drain channel is configured to provide structural support to the DEF tank, and the gap is configured to enable DEF flow downwardly into the drain channel without contacting the retaining bar.

  • Patent number: 9638085
    Abstract: A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank for an off-road vehicle including a first conduit channel molded into an exterior surface of the DEF tank, at a first depth, in which the first conduit channel is configured to guide a first conduit along the exterior surface of the DEF tank. The DEF tank further including a second conduit channel molded into the exterior surface of the DEF tank at a second depth, different than the first depth, in which the second conduit channel is configured to guide a second conduit, and the first depth and the second depth are selected to create a vertical gap between the first conduit and the second conduit at an intersection of the conduits.
