A skid plate assembly is provided for mounting to a vehicle front-end, proximate a vehicle bumper. The assembly includes a support frame that defines a bottom portion configured to extend forward from the vehicle and a front portion connected to the bottom portion and configured to extend upwardly from the bottom portion and a cross at least a portion of the vehicle front end. A skid plate defines a bottom portion extending along the support frame bottom portion, and a front portion extending upwardly to the support frame front portion. The skid plate extends about at least a portion of the support frame front portion to define a skid plate upper surface. A skid plate cover is detachably engaged to the skid plate and extends along the skid plate bottom portion and the skid plate front portion. Mounting brackets are provided to engage the skid plate to the vehicle.

An access ladder assembly for a machine includes a fixed section, a movable section, a biasing member, a locking member, and a release assembly. The fixed section includes a pair of guide members and a fixed step. The movable section is mounted on and is movable along the fixed section between extended and retracted positions. The movable section includes a pair of sidewalls, and at least one horizontal step and is biased towards the retracted position by the biasing member. The locking member locks the movable member at the extended position. The release assembly operates to release the locking member. A manually engagable actuator of the release assembly may be disposed adjacent the fixed step. The movable section may include rails that slide within a hollow portions of the guide members as the movable section moves between the extended and retracted positions.

A step includes an integrated mud scraper and storage. The step may be part of a vehicle and, therefore, may be coupled to a vehicle body of the vehicle. The step includes a step body. The step body defines a stepping surface. The step body defines an opening extending through the stepping surface. The step includes at least one scraper extending from the stepping surface, wherein the scraper is obliquely angled relative to the stepping surface. The scraper is configured to scrape mud on a shoe, and the opening is configured to receive the mud scraped by the scraper. The scraper has a first scraper end and a second scraper end opposite the first scraper end. The first scraper end may be directly coupled to the stepping surface. The second scraper edge defines a scraping edge, and the scraping edge is aligned with the opening.

A vehicle mountable shoe cleaner includes a brush plate with a plurality of bristles on the top side and pads on the bottom side. Additionally, a second plate secures to the brush plate such that a vehicle step is clamped between brush plate and the second plate. The shoe cleaner may be configured with a brush plate mounted to two ring clamps for mounting to a tubular vehicle step. In another embodiment of the invention, a retractable cleaner pad is mounted to the frame of the vehicle.
