Abstract: A work machine, an implement control console, a plurality of unique implement control pods, and a method of installing an implement control pod onto a work machine are disclosed. The work machine comprises a power unit, a locomotive device, an implement arm, a work tool, and an implement control console for controlling one or more functions of the work machine's components. The implement control console comprises a universal mounting bracket and an implement control pod, where the plurality of unique implement control pods may be installed, one at a time, to the universal mounting bracket. Advantageously, the plurality of unique implement control pods share a number of components, while the design of each implement control pod allows for concurrent one-handed operation.

Abstract: An adjustable vehicle pedal assembly is disclosed. The adjustable vehicle pedal assembly may include a tray sub-assembly and a push rod sub-assembly. The tray sub-assembly may include a vehicle pedal, a splined shaft, and a tray that is slidable, relative to the splined shaft, to permit a position of the vehicle pedal to be adjusted. The push rod sub-assembly may engage a valve based on actuation of the vehicle pedal. A mechanical linkage between the tray sub-assembly and the push rod sub-assembly being maintained when the position of the vehicle pedal is adjusted.

Abstract: The steering column assembly has a base mounted to the machine and a steering column coupled to the base that pivots about the base at one end of the steering column. The steering column assembly has column plates and base plates with pinned ends and slotted ends. The pinned ends of the plates form pin openings. The column plates are pivotably coupled to the steering column with a column pin and the base plates are pivotably coupled to the base with a base pin. The column plates contact the base plates such that their respective slots intersect to form an opening through the slots. A locking pin fits in the opening and pushes the column plates against the base plates, creating friction between the plates that prevents the steering column from moving. When the locking pin is in an unlocked position the steering column is movable with at least two degrees of freedom. When the locking pin is in a locked position the steering column is not movable.
