Abstract: A machine includes an engine compartment, an engine located within the engine compartment, a first compartment located on a first side of the machine, external to the engine compartment, and accessible via the engine compartment, as well as a second compartment located on a second side of the machine, external to the engine compartment, and accessible via the engine compartment. A first actuator is disposed on the first side of the machine and couples to a first linkage member that supports a work implement. A second actuator is disposed on the second side of the machine and couples to a second linkage member that supports the work implement. A first fuel tank is located in the first compartment, coplanar with the first actuator. A second fuel tank is located in the second compartment, coplanar with the second actuator.

Abstract: A dual fuel tank system for a machine having a frame and an engine enclosure mounted on a rear portion of the frame includes a pair of support plates located at the rear portion of the frame and welded onto a pair of sides of the frame. Further, the dual fuel system also includes a pair of upper and lower support brackets secured onto each side of the engine enclosure. Furthermore, the dual fuel system also includes a pair of fuel tanks disposed on the pair of sides of the engine enclosure. Each fuel tank is releasably secured onto the support plate and an associated pair of the upper and lower support brackets.

Abstract: A clamping subassembly according includes a first receptacle defining a first hose receiving aperture defining a first longitudinal axis, a first end along the first longitudinal axis and a second end along the first longitudinal axis. A second receptacle defines a second hose receiving aperture defining a second longitudinal axis, a third end along the second longitudinal axis and a fourth end along the second longitudinal axis. The first receptacle includes a first flange disposed adjacent the first end of the first receptacle and the second receptacle includes a second flange disposed adjacent the third end of the second receptacle.

Abstract: A clamping member for attaching a hose with a frame of a machine is disclosed. The clamping member includes a first receptacle, a second receptacle, and a mounting portion defined between the first receptacle and the second receptacle. The clamping member includes a locating member disposed at a first distance from a first end of the mounting portion and a holding portion defined at a second distance from a second end of the mounting portion. The first distance and the second distance are equal. The clamping member further includes a plurality of engaging members defined at the first end of the mounting portion and a leg member having a tab disposed at the second end of the mounting portion. The tab conforms with the plurality of engaging members.
