TENSIONER LEVER
To provide a simple-structured tensioner lever capable of consistently exerting a correct reaction force to various fluctuations of tension accompanying varying chain behaviors, whereby vibration and noise when the chain runs can be reduced. The tensioner lever of the present invention includes a lever body having a shoe surface that slidably guides a chain; a first pressing spring configured to have a first pressing arm extending from one end of a first helical part, with a distal end portion contacting the lever body to form a first loading point, and a first support arm extending from the other end of the first helical part, with a distal end portion contacting and being supported by a first support part provided to an attachment surface to form a first support point; and a second pressing spring supported on the lever body at a different position from that of the first pressing spring.
Chain guide
To provide a chain guide that can improve transportability and assembly operation efficiency, while also ensuring stable running of a timing chain and enhancing durability, with a simple structure. The chain guide has a guide shoe that slidably guides a chain, and a chain guide body that supports the guide shoe. A compression limiter having an attachment hole through which a mounting bolt for attaching the chain guide to an attachment target member passes is fitted in a fixing through hole extending through the chain guide body in a width direction thereof. A compression limiter holding mechanism is provided either to the compression limiter or to a hole rim part including the fixing through hole of the chain guide body in order to hold the compression limiter.

Skid steer manure spreader attachment
The skid steer manure spreader attachment includes a main bucket compartment, a cover, and a beater shaft. The bucket, cover, and beater shaft are preferably formed of welded steel. The bucket has an industry standard quick attach plate on the back so it can be quickly attached to any standard skid steer, and is a standard width. A hydraulic motor operates the beater shaft and the cover. The beater shaft has blades angled in two directions. The beater shaft spins forward so the beater blades through manure out of the top of the bucket, above the shaft. The hydraulic motor drives the top sprocket, and a chain drives the bottom sprocket. A tensioner pivots on one screw to allow the user to tension the chain as needed.

Walk-behind tractor with increased ground clearance
A walk-behind tractor has an increased ground clearance to define a plant receiving space that has a greater height than a conventional walk-behind tractor having a straight axle. The walk-behind tractor has trailing drop arms from a frame that carry wheel axles that result in an elevated height of a driveshaft. The elevated driveshaft increases the ground clearance for taller plants to pass therebeneath during operation of the walk-behind tractor which would otherwise be too tall to pass below a conventional straight axle walk-behind tractor.

LUBRICANT SUPPLY APPARATUS FOR CHAIN IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Provided is an apparatus for supplying lubricant to a timing chain installed in an engine, the apparatus including an injection hole configured for injecting lubricant from an oil pump, and an inner cover having a guide groove configured to receive lubricant injected from the injection hole and guide the lubricant toward a engagement place between the timing chain and a sprocket, wherein the inner cover has a guide groove provided at a position facing an injection hole of a counter surface portion that is spaced apart from a cylinder block and faces the guide groove.

A RIM -TYPE ABRASION CUTTER DRIVE SPROCKET, A DRIVE ARRANGEMENT, AN ABRASION CUTTER AND A METHOD OF DRIVING AN ABRASION CUTTING CHAIN OF AN ABRASION CUTTER
A rim-type abrasion cutter drive sprocket (24) for driving an abrasion cutting chain (16) of an abrasion cutter (10) comprises a set of sprocket teeth, which extend radially away from the drive sprocket's rotation axis (A), and define drive link gaps between them for receiving and drivingly engaging with drive links (26) of the cutting chain (16), and a pair of rim edges (44) which are concentric with and extend about the rotation axis (A) on either side of the drive link gaps, the rim edges (44) being configured to radially support side links (28) of the cutting chain (16). The rim edges (44) have a non-circular envelope, as seen along the rotation axis (A).
