  • Publication number: 20240180134
    Abstract: An ice fishing reel support and covering system includes a sleeve having a perimeter wall including an upper edge and a lower edge. The sleeve is positionable in and forms a liner for the ice fishing hole. A reel mount is attached to and positioned in the sleeve. The reel mount is configured receives a fishing reel. The reel mount is adjustable to a first position wherein the reel mount and the fishing reel are each positioned below a plane of the upper edge and within an interior of the sleeve, or to a second position wherein the reel mount extends above the plane of the upper edge to position the fishing reel above the interior of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 9765881
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit is disclosed for use with a powertrain having an engine, a transmission, and an output transfer group. The hydraulic circuit may have a first sump configured to collect fluid drained from the transmission, and a second sump configured to collect fluid drained from the output transfer group. The hydraulic circuit may also have a primary pump configured to draw fluid from the first sump and generate at least one flow of pressurized fluid directed to the transmission and to the output transfer group.

  • Patent number: 9541183
    Abstract: An output transfer group is disclosed for use with a mobile machine. The output transfer group may have a housing, an input yoke extending from the housing and configured to receive an input torque, a first output yoke extending from the housing and configured to provide a first output torque, and a second output yoke extending from the housing and configured to provide a second output torque. The output transfer group may also have a gear train disposed within the housing and connecting the input yoke to the first and second output yokes. The gear train may create a torque reduction between the input yoke and the first and second output yokes, and includes a lockable differential located downstream of the torque reduction.

  • Patent number: 9234585
    Abstract: A transmission housing includes an inner surface and circumferentially spaced first sets of teeth spaced about an axis of the transmission housing and configured to selectively engage a first clutch plate. Each first set is attached to the inner surface. The transmission housing also includes circumferentially spaced second sets of teeth spaced about the axis of the transmission housing and configured to selectively engage a second clutch plate. Each second set is attached to the inner surface. The teeth of at least one of the first or second sets extend axially and are narrower at a first axial end of the respective teeth than at a second axial end of the respective teeth.
