Abstract: A rotator including a base frame for being attached to a lift mechanism; a rotating frame; a first latch member attached to the rotating frame; a second latch member attached to the rotating frame a spaced distance from the first latch member for coacting with the first latch member to securely attach a trailer chassis to the rotating frame; and axle structure rotatably attaching the rotating frame and the base frame to one another for allowing the rotating frame to rotate between a first position and a second position to rotate the trailer chassis between an upright position and an inverted position about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the trailer chassis.

Abstract: A track idler recoil assembly is mounted on a crawler tractor for resiliently resisting longitudinal movement of a yoke-mounted track idler caused by track deflection. The assembly comprises a spring housing, open at one end and closed at the other, rigidly secured to the tractor track frame; a coiled compression type recoil spring within the spring housing; and means, including a pushrod and a hydraulic ram, to transmit force between the track idler yoke and the spring and to enable installation and removal of the spring in uncompressed condition. The pushrod is detachably connected to the idler yoke and extends through a hole in a rigid portion of the track frame. The hydraulic ram is located between the pushrod and the spring and is slideably supported in a tubular spring restraining member which is mounted on the spring housing and movable axially into the open end thereof to fixed position to hold the spring in a precompressed condition.
