Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and multicomponent apparatus for removing and installing a continuous track on a power machine or work vehicle. The system includes a support and biasing apparatus, an arcuate positioning component, a decoupling component, and interconnecting elements. The interacting apparatus and components include contact surfaces that bear against the continuous track surfaces to transfer and/or apply a series of forces, each force in the series comprising at least one of an upward, forward, or lateral force, or combinations thereof, to remove the track from or urge and install a replacement track into proper alignment and captive engagement with front idler and sprocket wheels of a continuous track vehicle wheel assembly. Removal and installation of continuous tracks is hereby achieved in a fraction of the time and with substantially less manpower than previously proposed solutions and methods.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a coal and ash caddy defined by a container having a plunger plate disposed therewithin having a contour complimental to the inner configuration of the container, a plunger rod connected to the plate extending outwardly through the container terminating in a handle, and a support framework fastened to the container connected to a door on one open end of the caddy so that manipulation of the support frame will cause the door to open and manipulation of the plunger handle will cause the plunger plate to eject a quantity of fuel to be ejected from the container. Similarly, the device can be manipulated to allow the introduction of ashes from a stove or the like whereby the ashes can be removed from the building within which the stove is provided without desiminating ashes in the environment.
