Disclosed are various embodiments for a front bucket loader apparatus. In one aspect, a front bucket loader apparatus for operating in low overhead space environments is disclosed. The front bucket loader comprises a front bucket with a bottom plate with a front edge, an opposing back edge, a left edge and an opposing right edge. The front bucket further has a left side wall attached to the left side of the bottom plate and a right side wall attached to the right side of the bottom plate. Further, it is configured with a top support bracket attached to the left side wall and to the right side wall. Further, the front bucket has a pivotable serpentine back wall, the pivotable serpentine back wall having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being supported by the top support bracket and the lower portion of the pivotable serpentine back wall configured for engaging the bottom plate of the front bucket. Lastly the front bucket has a slatted rear mount directly opposing the pivotable serpentine back wall. The front bucket loader further comprises a hydraulic assembly attached to the slatted rear mount of the front bucket and operatively connected to the pivotable serpentine back wall of the front bucket.

The invention relates to a device for sorting particulate materials of different grain size that can be part of a construction machine or digger's scoop. The device for sorting has a plurality of helical rollers, each exhibiting at least one helix, wherein each helical roller rotates about a rotary axis of its own, at least two adjacent helical rollers exhibit the same direction of rotation, and the rotary axes of at least three helical rollers are not arranged in a common plane. At least some of the helical rollers are held and rotatably mounted exclusively at one end.

A snow blower implement for a power machine includes a power machine interface having a machine mount configured to engage the implement interface of the power machine. A tool of the implement is coupled to the power machine interface. The tool includes a frame forming an auger housing, and the auger housing includes apertures formed in the housing and arranged to proved an operator of the power machine with visibility, through the apertures, of an implement workspace within or in front of the auger housing while operating the power machine.

A linkage assembly is provided for a bucket in which a door is coupled to a body of the bucket at a pivot mount. The linkage assembly includes a first link, a second link, and a snubber. The first link is pivotally coupled to the body and disposed in a spaced-apart relation to the pivot mount. The second link is pivotally coupled to the door and disposed in a spaced-apart relation to the pivot mount. The first and second links are also pivotally coupled together at a link pivot. The snubber is disposed between the pivot mount and the first link.

A loader bucket has material spreaders on opposing sides of the loader bucket to spread material from within the loader bucket received through discharge openings in the rear wall of the bucket from an auger located in the bottom of the bucket. Each material spreader includes a spinner formed with blades to spread the material received through the discharge openings. The material spreaders are positioned below the apex of the V-shaped bucket and operable within a path of distribution that includes an interior boundary member oriented with a forward end closer to the center of the bucket than the rearward end to provide a distribution forwardly and laterally of the bucket. A low baffle mounted at the bottom periphery of the spinner blades forces material upwardly into a fluffy pattern. A high baffle provides a second boundary limit for the distribution of material.

Embodiments of the invention relate generally to earth movement machine components and, more particularly, to a pivot system with adjustable height to actuate a door latch for an excavator bucket.

A rope shovel has a boom and a hoist rope. The boom has a first end and a second end. The hoist rope extends over the second end of the boom. A digging assembly for the rope shovel includes a shaft, an elongated member supported for movement relative to the boom, an attachment, and a drive link. The shaft is positioned between the first end and the second end of the boom and transverse to the boom, and the shaft includes at least one pinion gear. The elongated member includes a first end and a second end. The attachment is coupled to the first end of the elongated member and is configured to be coupled to the hoist rope. The drive link includes a rack engaging the pinion gear of the transverse shaft such that rotation of the pinion gear moves the drive link and actuates the attachment.

A cartridge includes a body, an aperture extending through the body sized to receive a pivot pin, and a spherical bushing disposed within the body. The cartridge also includes a first internal seal disposed axially on one side of the bushing and a second internal seal disposed axially on an opposite side of the bushing. The cartridge also includes an end cap disposed at least partially within the aperture that abuts the bushing and prevents the bushing from moving axially in a first direction within the aperture.
