Abstract: A transmission shift mechanism including a shift selector lever mounted on a spherical bearing and a shifting segment mounted on a transverse axis and having a transverse slot receiving said shift selector lever for allowing said lever to pivot transversely for selecting a speed ratio and pivoting fore and aft for shifting said transmission.

Abstract: A compact single lever control device (26) is provided for a lift truck (11) which permits an operator to operate a carriage raising and lowering control valve spool (77) by lateral movement of a manual control lever (46) and to cause the lift truck to travel in forward and reverse directions by forward and reverse movement of the control lever (46).

Abstract: A latticework adapted for suspension from the ceiling and forming a double channel configuration of cross members carrying a sealant for sealing the filters supported thereon.

Abstract: A hinge connection for a wheel supporting, segmented cross shaft of a winged implement permits the wing to be folded to a transport position in any raised or lowered position of the implement. The hinge connection includes a pin carried by a laterally outer end of the main frame segment of the cross shaft which cooperates with a pair of slots in legs extending from the adjacent end of a wing frame segment of the cross shaft.

Abstract: An attachment for an exhaust pipe. A rolled bead of the exhaust pipe is formed on its outer periphery providing a seal with a turbo-charger outlet flange and a clamp ring bolted around the bead. The exhaust pipe is adapted for supporting the muffler.

Abstract: An adjustable position control lever stop in a control console of a tractor. The control levers operate a draft load sensing system through a three-point hitch between the tractor and the implement. The control levers in the control console include a draft load sensing control lever, and a position control lever which operates with the adjustable position control lever stop.

Abstract: A gas treating system including a housing forming a duct for a gas stream having a vertical panel of flow-through evaporative media secured across the duct, a blower mounted within the duct downstream from the panel adapted to draw the gas stream through the duct, a liquid dispersal assembly connected to a liquid supply adapted to conduct an evaporative treating fluid into the panel where it evaporates into the gas stream as it flows through the panel, and humidity or temperature sensors positioned within the duct downstream from the blower operatively connected with the liquid supply to increase and decrease the flow of liquid into the panel to maintain a preselected humidity or temperature in the gas stream as it flows out of the housing.

Abstract: A clutch pedal pivoting a fore and aft shaft mounted in a fire wall for transmission of the clutch actuating force through the fire wall for disengaging and engaging a vehicle clutch.

Abstract: An oil ring and coiled expander spring assembly in which the groove for the expander spring is of unique configuration and possesses a unique relationship with the expander spring.

Abstract: An adjustable tractor grille shell for aligning the vertical edges of the engine hood and side panels with the grille shell on the tractor.

Abstract: An agricultural planter (12) is provided with a hopper (37 or 137) which is adapted to receive a transverse partition wall (71 or 171) for dividing seed and chemical compartments (72, 73 or 205, 207). The chemical compartment (73 or 207) can be further divided into cells (74, 76 or 174', 176') by a longitudinal partition wall (77 or 177) whereby seed and two chemicals, such as a herbicide and an insecticide, can be dispensed from a single hopper (37 or 137) during a planting operation.

Abstract: A combined concave and rock door structure is provided for an agricultural harvester wherein the rock door and the arms supporting the concave are pivotally mounted on the same transverse axis by a pair of pivot support structures. A control mechanism is provided for adjusting the threshing clearance of the concave and the concave is adjustable to maintain concentricity with the threshing rotor.

Abstract: A swingout battery tray and step pivotally mounted on a vehicle chassis with a latch to secure the battery tray in its operating position and a releasable fastener to secure the step in its normal operating position.

Abstract: A side mounted fuel tank for a tractor having reinforced ribbing around the tank, a base support for supporting the tank, and side wall retainer reinforcement to retain its shape. A step connected between the cantilever beam supports the base support which carries the tank.

Abstract: A metering arrangement for limiting the advance of the filter media in an automatic roll filter having a timer which periodically energizes a drive motor adapted to draw the media through the filtering zone of the apparatus. The arrangement includes a metering reel which is adapted to rotate in direct proportion to the lineal advance of the filter media, a magnet mounted on the reel which generates a magnetic field limited to a predetermined arc of the periphery of the reel, and a reed switch which is actuated by the magnetic field to signal an electrical circuit to shut off the drive motor after a preselected increment of the filter media has been drawn into the filtering zone of the apparatus.

Abstract: The invention disclosed comprises twin clutch packs for a power shift transmission to provide two power paths through the power shift transmission and means for combining the drives in a single output drive.This invention relates to a power shift transmission and more particularly to a transmission having twin clutch packs for dividing the drive in separate power paths through the transmission and recombining in a single output drive. The transmission is a countershaft transmission having a common countershaft for the twin drives through the transmission which recombine as the drive is transmitted to the output shaft.With an increase in size and power transmitted through a power shift transmission a greater area of clutch plate surface or brake disc surface is required to transmit the increase in torque. Since the clutches are the greatest problem in transmitting increased power a doubling of the power transmitted through the transmission requires a redesign of the whole transmission.

Abstract: A front end weight carrier for supporting a plurality of front end weights underneath the grille of a tractor in a manner for conveniently changing the number of weights mounted on a support bar.
