Abstract: A self-propelled roadway maintenance machine has an operator's station located on a front portion of the machine's chassis and including a forward-facing operator's seat. A driven implement, such as a crack routing cutter drum for routing cracks in a roadway surface, is mounted on the front portion of the chassis in a location that can be monitored by a forward-facing operator while controlling machine steering and propulsion. The implement may be removably mounted on the chassis by a quick-connect coupling. If the implement comprises a crack routing cutter drum, a plurality of peripherally spaced cutter wheel assemblies may be mounted between disks of the cutter drum, each cutter wheel assembly including a pin and first and second bushings that support the pin on the disks and that are removably inserted into respective bores in the disks. Machine steering and propulsion and implement operation may all be effected hydraulically.
