Abstract: A skid steer machine is provided including a frame and a cab supported on the frame. A lift arm assembly includes a pair of lift arms each of which is pivotally supported on the frame at the rear end thereof for movement between a raised position and a lowered position. A pair of combination cab mounting bracket and lift arm stops are provided with each combination cab mounting bracket and lift arm stop being supported on the frame adjacent the forward end of the frame and adjacent a respective lateral side of the frame. Each combination cab mounting bracket and lift arm stop includes a cab mount surface and a lift arm stop surface with the lift arm stop surface being arranged outwardly and upwardly relative to the cab mount surface.

Abstract: A linkage pin assembly is disclosed. The linkage pin assembly includes a grease fitting, a linkage pin, and a coupling. The grease fitting includes an outer shell. The outer shell encloses an internal cavity. The outer shell includes a thread blank having at a second end of the outer shell. The thread blank includes hardened lead threads. The hardened lead threads are induction hardened to at least RKW C 53. The linkage pin has an untapped hole. The coupling is between the grease fitting and the linkage pin. The coupling is formed when the hardened lead threads of the grease fitting create corresponding threads in the untapped hole of the linkage pin when the grease fitting is inserted into the linkage pin.

Abstract: A grease fitting is disclosed. The grease fitting has an outer shell. The outer shell encloses an internal cavity. The outer shell includes a ball check, a hexagonal portion, and a thread blank. The ball check is located at a first end of the outer shell. The ball check is configured to receive grease. The thread blank is located at a second end of the outer shell. The thread blank includes hardened lead threads configured to form threads in an untapped hole. In an embodiment, the grease fitting may include a thread guide extending from the thread blank.
