  • Publication number: 20240125385
    Abstract: A zero turning radius mower park brake system includes a park brake pawl on a transmission which engages a park brake to a pair of independently driven traction wheels. A park brake link may be pivotably mounted to the park brake pawl and connected to a left steering lever and a right steering lever. The park brake link may pivot while moving the park brake pawl forward to a park brake engaged position if only one of the steering levers is moved outward from a neutral traction drive position.

  • Patent number: 4610769
    Abstract: Aminoplast curable cationic coating compositions are disclosed. The coating compositions contain an onium salt group-containing polymer and an aminoplast curing agent which has at least one group of the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is carbon derived from an aldehyde or a ketone.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4432850
    Abstract: Ungelled resins, aqueous dispersions of cationic resins, coating compositions, and electrodeposition using the resinous coating compositions are disclosed. The resins are formed from reacting polyepoxides with polyoxyalkylenepolyamines. The aqueous dispersons are prepared by at least partially neutralizing the resins to provide cationic groups and dispersing the cationic resins in aqueous medium. When added to cationic electrodepositable coating compositions, such as high throwpower compositions, the ungelled cationic resins provide better appearing, more flexible and water-resistant electrodeposited coatings.

  • Patent number: 3932191
    Abstract: Electrodepositable compositions containing small amounts of cellulose acetate butyrate provide coatings having excellent adhesion to the substrate and to conventional topcoat compositions, wherein said cellulose acetate butyrate has a relatively high butyryl content. The electrodepositable compositions are comprised of water dispersible acid or base solubilized synthetic vehicle resins.
