Filed:

May 8, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/904087

Inventors:

Robert D. Higgins - Highland Heights OH

Assignee:

Towmotor Corporation - Mentor OH

International Classification:

B60K 502

US Classification:

180299

Abstract:

A motor mounting assembly is separable into two portions between the frame and the motor enabling one portion of the mounting assembly to remain resiliently connected to the vehicle frame while the other portion is removed with the motor. Reinstallation of the motor is greatly simplified as the separable portions of the mounting assembly can readily be repositioned and reconnected without the misalignment problems encountered during installation of motors using conventional mounts which must be engaged at the vehicle frame.

A control valve linkage arrangement which is closely adjacent a vehicle operator and which allows easy access to a compartment upon which the operator sits. A control linkage (12) is disclosed wherein positioning of the member (30) to be controlled determines a control signal. The linkage (12) is connected to the valve control member (30) and may be pivoted relative to the valve control member (30) along a plane generally containing the valve control member (30) without axial movement of the said member (30). The linkage (12) can also be moved axially thereby moving the control member (30) axially without pivoting the linkage (12) relative to the control member (30).
