ADJUSTABLE TRACKS
A vehicle having two configurations. The vehicle has two track frames, one on each side of a vehicle frame. The position of the track frames is adjustable relative to the vehicle frame by removing a connector, such as a first bolt, from a hole in the vehicle frame and a plate extending from the track frame. Another bolt is disposed in the vehicle frame and a slot in the plate. The track frame may be moved inwardly or outwardly to change the vehicle's configuration, and the first bolt reattached through the plate at a different hole in the vehicle frame.

TRACK CONFIGURATION FOR A FARM IMPLEMENT
A track assembly for a farm implement includes a camber arm mounted in a camber arm housing, a first mounting bracket coupled to the upper connection point on the front end and pivotably coupled to the lower pivot point on the front end, and a second mounting bracket coupled to the upper connection point on the back end and pivotably coupled to the lower pivot point on the back end. The track assembly further includes first and second set arms having idler wheel sets mounted on one end and bogie wheel sets mounted on another end. The first set arm is pivotably coupled to the first mounting bracket, and the second set arm is pivotably coupled to the second mounting bracket, such that the idler wheel sets and bogie wheel sets are movable in opposing vertical directions.

TRACKED VEHICLE FOR FINISHING THE GROUND WITH A LIFTABLE WORKING ASSEMBLY, IN PARTICULAR A SNOW GROOMING VEHICLE WITH A LIFTABLE TILLER ASSEMBLY
A tracked vehicle for finishing the ground, in particular a snow grooming vehicle for finishing ski slopes; the vehicle comprising: a main supporting frame configured for supporting side tracks and an upper cabin; at least one working assembly, such as a tiller assembly, frontally and posteriorly coupled to the main frame and configured for finishing the ground during the movement of the vehicle; a lifting device for the working assembly and configured for selectively switching the working assembly between a first lowered working position, wherein it is in contact with the ground, and a second raised inactive position, wherein it is not in contact with the ground; at least one hydraulic stabilizing device acting on the working assembly and configured so that in the first lowered working position it does not inhibit the movement of the working assembly with respect to the main supporting frame, and in the second raised inactive position it stabilizes the working assembly with greater resistance to movement with respect to the main supporting frame.
TRACK ASSEMBLY FOR POWER MACHINE
A power machine configured as a mini-loader includes a mini-loader frame defining a front end opposite a rear end and a first side opposite a second side, at least one first-side motor supported by the first side of the frame, at least one second-side motor supported by the second side of the frame, and four endless track pods. The four endless track pods include a first endless track pod and a second endless track pod supported by the first side of the frame, and a third endless track pod and a fourth endless track pod supported by the second side of the frame. The endless tracks of the first and second endless track pods are powered by the at least one first-side motor and the endless tracks of the third and fourth endless track pods are powered by the at least one second-side motor to propel the power machine.
Retainer for equalizer bar pin and systems and assemblies thereof
A retainer plate configured to retain a center pin for an equalizer bar comprises a first face and a second face opposite the first face; a first support arm having a first reduced contact portion; a second support arm having a second reduced contact portion; and a neck portion between the first support arm and the second support arm. The retainer plate can be symmetrical about a center vertical axis in an end view thereof, and the first support arm, the second support arm, and the neck portion can define a central concave recess configured to receive the center pin via an opening into the central concave recess defined between the first support arm and the second support arm. The first support arm can have a first set of openings through a thickness of the retainer plate and configured to receive respective fasteners therethrough, and the second support arm can have a second set of openings through the thickness of the retainer plate and configured to receive respective fasteners therethrough.
