Abstract: A cooling package for a machine is disclosed. The cooling package includes a heat exchanger pivotably coupled to a frame of the machine. A fan assembly is pivotably coupled to the heat exchanger. In one embodiment, the cooling package includes at least one isolation mount configured to couple a fan shroud of the fan assembly with the frame. The cooling package also includes at least one latch to couple the fan shroud with the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Automatic and simultaneous retraction of a pair of stabilizer legs for a backhoe loader machine is beneficial for the operator (not shown). Instead of retracting the stabilizer legs by manually holding a pair of control levers continuously in a retract position, the operator (not shown) may simply move the control levers to an auto-retract position. The movement of the control levers in such a manner activates a control switch in connection with each of the control levers. The control switches, in turn, activate a timer relay that activates a solenoid detent operative with each control lever. Once the solenoid detents are in an activated state, the operator (not shown) may relinquish contact with the control levers. The solenoid detents will retain the control levers in the auto-retract position via electro-magnetic forces.

Abstract: Earthmoving machines are often provided with quick coupling devices that allow them to change work implements in a relatively rapid fashion when compared to changing conventionally mounted implements. A locking system between the machine linkage and the implement is positioned between the components and includes a hydraulic system which continually applies pressurized fluid to the locking system.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for positioning an acousto-optic modulator in a beam of radiation so that it is adjustable to pivot the modulator unit in a plane including the beam and thereby to accurately position the angle of entry of the beam into the modulator unit. The mounting arrangement includes a planar base member, secured at one end, and adapted to be pivoted along at least one line of flexure to control the position of the modulator relative to the beam.
