Abstract: A support assembly, for an equalizer bar, integrally welded to a main frame of a track-type front loader vehicle. The assembly includes a first central U-shaped plate having a base and first and second legs extending forwardly from the base, a second L-shaped plate having a third leg welded to one side of the base and a fourth leg extending forwardly from the third leg, a third L-shaped plate having a fifth leg welded to the other side of the base and a sixth leg extending forwardly from the fifth leg, a fourth plate welded to the front of the first, the second, the fourth and the sixth legs, a fifth L-shaped plate having a seventh leg welded to the top of the first, the second, the third and the fourth plates, and an eighth leg extending downwardly from the seventh leg and spaced from the base, and a pivot pin coupled to the first, fourth and fifth plates through bosses for holding the equalizer bar in the space between the eighth leg and the base.

Abstract: A closed loop conveyor for viscid material is provided with a plurality of spaced, planar conveying flights within a material conveying conduit. The flights are mounted on an endless transporting chain and are moved from one or more charge stations where material is loaded into the conduit to one or more gravity discharge stations where the material falls out of the conveyor. At the discharge station the planar conveying flights are scraped clean by a rotatable assembly. The assembly preferably comprises a circular plate mounted for rotation in a generally vertical plane adjacent to the conveying path and about a substantially horizontal axis. A number of scraper blades are mounted on the circular plate substantially uniformly, peripherally spaced from one another and extend away from one side of the plate in a generally horizontal direction toward a conveying path defined by movement of the flights.

Abstract: an integral welded main frame for a loader vehicle having a hydrostatic drive system, including a front frame section for supporting a load forwardly thereof, a pair of rails extending rearwardly from the front frame section, each of the rails including an upper plate and a lower plate joined by an outer plate and an inner plate to form a box section, the inner plate having an opening for receiving a hydraulic motor of the system, a first casing for a final drive of the system, including a first curved plate surrounding the final drive and the opening and extending from the inner plate to outside the outer plate, whereby each rail is reinforced in the area of the opening, a second casing for a pivot bar extendable through one of the rails, including a second curved plate welded to the outer plate and extending outside thereof, whereby each of the rails is reinforced in the area of the pivot bar, and a plurality of cross-members connecting the pair of side rails.
