Abstract
A mounting method for a skid steer loader is disclosed including coupling a first end portion of a component directly to a first wall of a skid steer loader frame. The method also includes coupling a second end portion of the component to an opposite wall of the skid steer loader frame by a mounting system that allows for dimensional differences between the component and the skid steer loader frame.
Claims20
A mounting method for a skid steer loader, comprising:
- coupling a first end portion of a component directly to a first wall of a skid steer loader frame;
- and
- coupling a second end portion of the component to an opposite wall of the skid steer loader frame by a mounting system that allows for dimensional differences between the component and the skid steer loader frame.
A skid steer loader, comprising:
- a frame having a first wall and an opposite wall, and a first distance between the first and opposite walls;
- a component extending between the first and opposite walls of the skid steer loader frame, the component having a first end portion and a second end portion, and a second distance between the first end portion and the second end portion, the second distance being different than the first distance;
- a fixed coupling connecting the first end portion to the first wall;
- and
- a variable coupling connecting the second end portion to the opposite wall.

A mounting method for a skid steer loader, comprising:
- coupling a first end portion of a pump-motor bridge directly to a first chain box of a skid steer loader frame;
- and
- coupling a second end portion of the pump-motor bridge to a second chain box of the skid steer loader frame by a compression sleeve that allows for dimensional differences between the pump-motor bridge and the skid steer loader frame.
