Abstract: A position control system including an actuator having a first end, an axis and including a driving device for moving the first end of the actuator in opposed directions, the first end of the actuator configured to move a hood between an open position and a closed position. A surface is associated with the hood that is configured to interact with the first end of the actuator in response to the first end of the actuator contacting and moving the hood between the open position and the closed position. The first end of the actuator moves along the axis and remains substantially coincident with the first axis while the first end moves the hood between the open position and the closed position.

Abstract: A vibration isolator device securing a nonmetal panel to a metal frame of a work vehicle includes a metal member affixed to a surface of the nonmetal panel, the metal member facing the metal frame. An isolator mount plate is secured to the frame in a manner permitting a predetermined adjustment between the isolator mount plate and the frame in each of two directions. A vibration isolator is positioned between the metal member and the frame. A region of the isolator mount plate is configured to receive and maintain vibration isolation between the region of the isolator mount plate and the metal member, the region of the isolator mount plate providing a predetermined adjustment between the isolator mount plate and the metal member in a third direction.

Abstract: A hitch pin assembly includes a first pin having a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end. A second pin extends from the longitudinal axis in close proximity to the first end. A third pin extends from the longitudinal axis in close proximity to the first end. A fourth pin extends from the longitudinal axis in close proximity to the second end. The first pin is configured to be received between a hitched position and an unhitched position in a member having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a hitch area positioned between the upper portion and the lower portion. Upon installation of the second pin and the fourth pin to the first pin, travel of the first pin along the longitudinal axis is restricted in each of opposed directions so that the hitch pin assembly cannot be removed from the member.

Abstract: An engine enclosure for enclosing an engine of a work machine. The enclosure includes a first panel hingedly supported from an enclosure top and extending downwardly therefrom to form an enclosure side portion. A first hinge device joins the first panel to the enclosure top for pivotal movement relative thereto, the first panel pivotable from a closed position to an open position for access of engine components. A second panel hingedly supports and forms another portion of the enclosure side, extending upwardly toward the first panel. A lower portion of the first panel is configured to overlie an upper portion of the second panel when the first and second panels are in a closed position for preventing pivotal movement of the second panel when the first panel overlies the second panel. The second panel is pivotable from the closed position to an open position for access of engine components.
