Abstract: An implement support assembly includes an implement interface having an interface support frame pivotably coupled to a vehicle frame, the interface support frame including an interface support arm and a float feature, and a hydraulic cylinder configured to move the interface support frame relative to the vehicle frame, the float feature being positioned between the interface support frame and the hydraulic cylinder. The float feature is configured to permit the implement to move independently from the hydraulic cylinder in response to ground undulations. The float feature includes a link having a first end coupled to the interface support arm, a second end coupled to the hydraulic cylinder, and a protrusion positioned between the first and second ends, the interface support arm includes an interface slot, and the protrusion is slidably received within the interface slot to provide lost motion between the link and the interface support arm.

Abstract: An implement interlock connection system connects an implement to a utility vehicle. The utility vehicle includes an implement interface having a first slot forming in the implement interface at a first position and a second slot formed in the implement interface at a second position spaced from the first position. The implement includes an implement arm having a securing interface with an implement slot defined therein. The implement interlock connection system includes a first lever pivotably coupled to the implement interface and a second lever pivotably coupled to the first lever. The first lever being configured to selectively engage the first slot and the second lever being configured to selectively engage the second slot. The implement is secured to the implement interface of the utility vehicle when the first lever engages the first slot and the second lever engages the second slot.

Abstract: A return to neutral mechanism to bias the trunnion of a hydraulic apparatus into the neutral position is provided. The trunnion is rotationally coupled to a bracket which is coupled to a glide member that is positioned between, and biased to a predetermined position by, a pair of compression springs.

Abstract: A vehicle straightening bench having a work platform with an inner track and an outer track. The platform has side edges and end edges with curved corners therebetween. A pulling tower assembly is movably mounted to the inner and outer tracks via a carriage having a generally triangular shaped wheel arrangement.
