The improved arrangement comprises a pin extending generally vertically upwardly from the second portion of the vehicle. The pin fits within a bore which extends generally vertically upwardly into the counterweight. A generally horizontal rod is slidably positioned within a generally horizontal hole in the counterweight. A frame member of the vehicle, is part of the second portion thereof, has a generally horizontal hole therein aligned with the generally horizontal counterweight hole to slidably receive a first end of the rod.
