Abstract: A bracket assembly, for mounting a visual perception device to a structure of a mobile construction machine, includes a first bracket and a second bracket. The first bracket is selectively positionable in a plurality of first positions with respect to the structure. The plurality of first positions is defined around a first axis. The second bracket defines a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is selectively positionable in a plurality of second positions with respect to the first bracket. The plurality of second positions is defined around a second axis. The second portion extends from the first portion. The second portion facilitates a selective positioning of the visual perception device in a plurality of third positions with respect to the second portion. The plurality of third positions is defined around a third axis.

Abstract: A cleaner finger assembly for cleaning compactor teeth on a compactor wheel of a compactor machine includes a cleaner finger base having a tip engaging surface and a base longitudinal axis, a cleaner finger tip having a base engaging surface and a tip longitudinal axis, and a finger tip anchoring mechanism attaching the cleaner finger tip to the cleaner finger base with the base engaging surface facing and engaging the tip engaging surface. The finger tip anchoring mechanism fails and the cleaner finger tip detaches when the cleaner finger tip is engaged by debris with a force parallel to the tip longitudinal axis, or with a force perpendicular to the tip longitudinal axis, to cause a tip shear force greater than a tip anchor shear capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism or a tension force greater than a tip anchor tension capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism.

Abstract: A front frame is disclosed for an articulated machine. The front frame may have a central tilt structure with parallel plates, a web member disposed between and connecting the parallel plates, and a hinge component connected to the web member. The front frame may also have mounting lugs connected to the web member opposite the base, the mounting lugs being configured to receive a pivot pin of a tilt cylinder. The front frame may further have two substantially identical lift structures located at sides of the central tilt structure, the lift structures being configured to receive spaced apart lift arms. The front frame may additionally have an axle mounting pad connected at a base of each of the lift structures and configured to engage a front axle of the articulated machine, and a bearing bore located adjacent the axle mounting pad and configured to receive a pivot pin of a steering cylinder.
