Abstract: An automatically oscillating device is provided for permitting opposing alternate movement by two associated movable members from a common center point.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for the positioning of an implement attached to a small garden tractor which includes a power takeoff system from the engine of the tractor connected to a device that controls a power drive mechanism attached to a positioning linkage that connects with the conventional manual lifting system for such tractors.

Abstract: A vehicle mounted lift assembly having latch mechanisms for latching pivoted lift arms in an uplift position whereby an implement, particularly a powered rotary mower, connected to the lift arms can be automatically latched in an elevated position while other implements are being raised or lowered by the lift assembly. The latch mechanisms each include a pivotal and an axially translatable bolt having a non-circular end portion which is slidably received in a complementary non-circular opening when in an arm latching position. The bolt is manually movable to an unlatched position with the non-circular portion moved axially out of engagement with the non-circular opening, and with the bolt then being pivoted about its axis to preclude registration of the non-circular portion with the non-circular opening.

Abstract: A device for alternately restraining movement of each end of a powered extensible and retractable link having first and second sections. The device is contained within a housing which can be inserted into a toolbar and attached to row marker assemblies to alternately lift and lower each row marker. Included as part of the device is a housing having channels therein for guiding linear movement of the link sections, a detent lever for alternately restraining movement of each link section and an actuating mechanism which causes the detent lever to alternately engage and release each link section.
