Abstract: A roller suspension system for a track-driven work vehicle may generally include a support beam and a resilient bushing configured to be coupled to the support beam. The resilient bushing may define a shaft opening. In addition, the system may include a roller wheel assembly having a roller wheel and a roller shaft. The roller wheel may be rotatable relative to the roller shaft. In addition, the roller shaft may be received within the shaft opening of the resilient bushing such that the roller shaft is coupled to the support beam via the resilient bushing.

Abstract: A track assembly for a work vehicle includes an endless track and a drive wheel, the drive wheel defining an inboard side, an outboard side, and a central plane extending therebetween. The drive wheel includes a partition extending between an outer wall and an inner wall. The partition defines an inboard division substantially closed off from an outboard division to reduce an amount of debris or other material from reaching the work vehicle adjacent to which the track assembly may be positioned.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a fluid storage tank assembly for an off-road vehicle includes disposing a support ring within a cavity of a rotational mold, in which the cavity is shaped to form a fill spout of the fluid storage tank assembly. The method further includes flowing a liquid polymeric material within the rotational mold such that the liquid polymeric material enters the cavity, directly contacts the support ring, and bonds to the support ring as the liquid polymeric material hardens.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for mounting or assembling an axle or axle housing and a chassis of a vehicle, which improves fit-up between a chassis and axle and reduces shear loads exerted against connectors such as bolts or the like connecting the axle and chassis. The chassis and axle are connected and fixed in relation one to the other in the desired position by the connectors. Wedge surfaces are located on the chassis and on the axle in opposing relation at a predetermined angle and define a space therebetween. A tapered block or wedge member is positionable in the space between the wedge surfaces. An adjusting member is adjustable for applying forces against the wedge surfaces to urge the wedge surfaces apart, for reducing at least some of any shear forces acting against the connectors connecting the axle and chassis.
