Abstract: The device relates to a pivoting forearm rest positioned behind the hand controls of a skid steer loader. The device consists of a tube with an angled portion inserted into a ‘J’ shaped support bracket. The bracket is affixed to the cab sidewall and may be vertically adjusted. The rotation of the tube is adjusted by a tension bolt and shim within the support bracket. The tube has a pin seated within a tube slot in the support bracket which allows the tube to rotate 180 degrees. A portion of the tube and the support bracket are covered in padding.

Abstract: A skid steer loader having a main frame supported on four wheels, and a cab with upwardly extending side walls mounted on the main frame for providing an area in which an operator can control the loader. The loader is propelled by an engine operatively coupled to the wheels by a first assembly of suitable control components. A boom structure comprising a pair of arms and a mounting assembly is also mounted on the frame. A second assembly of suitable components is also coupled to the engine to provide appropriate control of the boom structure for raising and lowering the pair of arms. The first assembly of control components includes a pair of hydraulic motors for driving the wheels, and a system associated with the motors for selectively changing the speed ranges of the motors to change the speed at which the wheels propel the loader.
