Abstract: An attachment system for attaching a tailgate to a frame of a power machine. The tailgate is moveable between a closed position and an opened position. The attachment system includes first and second attachment structures for pivotally mounting the cover to the frame. The second attachment structure is spaced apart from the first attachment structure. A connection member connects the first attachment structure and the second attachment structure. The tailgate is configured to pivot about the connection member as it moves between the closed position and the open position.

Abstract: A mechanical linkage for a power machine includes first and second horizontal shafts extending sideways along respective first and second axes. First and second links are operably coupled to the respective first and second horizontal shafts. The links convert actuation of operator input devices of the power machine into rotation of the horizontal shafts about their axes. First and second valve actuators convert rotation of the respective first and second horizontal shafts into actuation of respective first and second spools in a hydraulic valve of the power machine.

Abstract: A zero tail swing construction vehicle includes a body, a pair of track assemblies for supporting the body for movement over a surface, an engine supported on the body for providing power, a lower attachment pivotably coupled to the body, an upper attachment pivotably coupled to the body, a hydraulic system for providing power to the lower attachment and the upper attachment, an operator support pivotably coupled to the body and a rear hatch coupled to the operator support. The operator support is pivotable from a usage position forward about a horizontal axis to a service position. The rear hatch is pivotable with the operator support from the usage position to the service position. The construction vehicle further includes a plurality of service check points located underneath the operator support in the usage position. In the usage position the rear hatch conceals the service check points, while in the service position service check points are accessible through an opening.
