Abstract: A shim for use in combination with a pin and fastener assembly, the pin having a shank portion with an outer diameter and a shoulder on an end of the shank portion, the shoulder defining a reduced diameter portion having threads, the fastener adapted for engagement with the threads on the reduced diameter portion, the shim includes at least one annular member having an inner diameter and an outer diameter with a flat portion at the inner diameter and a cupped portion at the outer diameter, the inner diameter adapted to fit over the outer diameter of the shank portion of the pin, the cupped portion receiving the fastener when the fastener is engaged with the threads on the reduced diameter portion of the pin so as to restrict radial movement of the shim as the fastener is threaded into abutting contact with the shoulder on the pin.

Abstract: A work vehicle having an improved transmission control circuit, that is responsive to a shuttle shift lever and associated switch that generates a forward signal, a reverse signal and a neutral signal, whereby the transmission control circuit engages the transmission in a forward gear ratio on receipt of the forward signal, a reverse gear ratio on receipt of the reverse signal and places the transmission in neutral on receipt of the neutral signal, and further wherein the transmission control circuit further places the transmission in neutral whenever it receives both a forward and neutral signal, or both a reverse and neutral signal.

Abstract: The disclosure involves an apparatus for detecting coincidence of (a) a vehicle transmission engaged in the power mode and (b) the operator's seat in a "first" position, i.e., a position other than that from which the vehicle is normally driven. Such apparatus has an annunciator, a first circuit providing a first conductive path when the seat is in the first position and a second circuit providing a second conductive path when the transmission is engaged in the power mode, forward or reverse. When, coincidently, the seat is in such position and the transmission is in the power mode, the first and second circuits coact to energize the annunciator and alert the vehicle operator.
