ELASTIC MOUNT
An elastic mount for absorbing static and dynamic loads includes an inner part, an outer part, and at least one elastomer mount that elastically connects the parts. The elastomer mount transfers from a first position to a second position when absorbing a static load acting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the mount, and may have a first elastomer body, second elastomer body, and an intermediate element arranged between the two elastomer bodies. The intermediate element may have a first connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the first elastomer body is soft in shear in the Z-direction, and rigid in the X-direction and/or the Y-direction; and a second connection surface aligned with the longitudinal axis such that in the second position the second elastomer body is soft in shear in the X-direction and/or in the Y-direction and rigid in the Z-direction.
REAR FENDER ASSEMBLIES FOR A WORK VEHICLE
A track work vehicle includes a track system including a drive wheel supported by an axle housing that drives a continuous ground-engaging track, a saddle assembly that guides the track about the drive wheel and an undercarriage frame that supports one or more idler wheels that guide the track along a ground surface. The track work vehicle further includes a fender assembly that includes at least one fender coupled to the axle housing to overlap a portion of the track.

Tunable hydraulic vibration damping mount
A tunable hydraulic vibration damping mount comprises a universal outer housing, inner sleeve, main spring assembly, bottom compliance assembly, and inner bushing. Each of a plurality of flow channel members comprises a cylinder having a common inner diameter, a common outer diameter, and a helical track having a cross-sectional area and a length defining a volume of the helical track. The helical track of each flow channel member defines a different volume. A selected flow channel member is positioned between the inner bushing and the outer housing and between the main spring assembly and the bottom compliance assembly. The selected flow channel member provides a selected dynamic performance of the damping mount.
Vehicle Driving Apparatus
A vehicle driving apparatus can handle a variety of car ranks and ensures reliability of a vehicle motor. The apparatus includes an axle housing, to which a differential-side housing of a driving unit housing is linked and integrally accommodating drive shafts of driving wheels. A first support allows elastically linking a first rotary support shaft linked to a vehicle body of the vehicle to the axle housing and the axle housing to swing around the first rotary support shaft as the center of rotation so that the axle housing is supported by the vehicle body. A second support allows a second rotary support shaft linked to the vehicle body to be elastically linked to a motor-side housing of the driving unit housing and the motor-side housing to swing around the second rotary support shaft as the center of rotation so that the motor-side housing is supported by the vehicle body.

Rear suspension mounting assembly
The invention relates to a rear suspension mounting assembly adapted to connect a cab to a vehicle chassis. A lower bracket is provided with a first fastener for securing it to a vehicle chassis. An upper bracket is provided with a second fastener for securing it to a cab. First and second connecting means connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket, wherein the first connecting means are adapted to rigidly connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket, the second connecting means are adapted to movably connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket. When the brackets are connected by both connecting means, the upper bracket is rigidly connected to the lower bracket, wherein the first connecting means are dimensioned to break when subjected to a threshold force at which the second connecting means remain intact and allow the upper bracket to move relative to the lower bracket.
