20120124980 | COMBINED INTAKE ASPIRATOR VENTURI TUBE AND WATER TRAP IN VERTICAL EXHAUST OUTLET STACK - An integral water trap and venturi tube element for use in an exhaust stack on a vehicle, the exhaust stack being generally vertically oriented and having a catalyst element or other moisture-sensitive emission control component disposed below the water trap, the venturi tube having an aspirator tube disposed therein to provide a low pressure aspiration source for the vehicle, wherein the venturi tube is so disposed in the exhaust stack to also function as the water trap and allows capture and diversion of water entering the exhaust stack from above. | 05-24-2012 |
20130146377 | Work Vehicle Having A Cooling System With A Reversible Airflow - A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an engine and a hood enclosure at least partially surrounding the engine. The hood enclosure may include a front grille and a secondary grille spaced apart from the front grille. The hood enclosure may also at least partially define an airflow compartment. In addition, the work vehicle may include a heat exchanger disposed in the airflow compartment between the front grille and the engine and at least one cooling fan disposed in the airflow compartment between the heat exchanger and the engine. The at least one cooling fan may generally be configured to generate a reversible airflow within the airflow compartment between the front grille and the secondary grille. | 06-13-2013 |
20140182956 | Air Filter Arrangement for a Work Vehicle - An air filter arrangement for a work vehicle is disclosed. The air filter arrangement may include a fan shroud extending between a shroud inlet and a shroud outlet and at least one heat exchanger disposed adjacent to the shroud inlet. The air filter arrangement may also include a fan disposed within the fan shroud between the shroud inlet and shroud outlet. The fan may be configured to draw air through the heat exchanger and between the shroud inlet and shroud outlet. Additionally, the air filter arrangement may include an air filter disposed within the fan shroud between the fan and the heat exchanger such that the air flowing through at least one heat exchanger and between the shroud inlet and shroud outlet is directed around the air filter. | 07-03-2014 |
20160061325 | PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM FOR A WORK VEHICLE - A parking brake system for a work vehicle may include an internal braking mechanism and an external brake actuator. The brake actuator may generally include a housing at least partially defining a rod-side chamber, a secondary chamber and a piston-side chamber extending between the rod-side and secondary chambers. The brake actuator may also include a primary piston movable between a first position at which the braking mechanism is actuated to an engaged state and a second position at which the braking mechanism is actuated to a disengaged state. In addition, the brake actuator may include a secondary piston at least partially housed within the secondary chamber that is configured to apply a force against the primary piston when fluid is supplied within the secondary chamber in order to move the primary piston from the first position to the second position. | 03-03-2016 |

20130026244 | WORK VEHICLE HEATING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A work vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine and a catalytic converter coupled to the exhaust of the engine. A reduction agent system provides for injection of a reduction agent, such as urea, upstream of the catalytic converter. Coolant heated by the engine is directed to the reduction agent system to defrost/heat the reduction agent, and is also directed to a vehicle cabin heating system. Flow of coolant may be preferentially directed to the cabin heating system rather than to the reduction agent system, such as following vehicle startup, particularly during cold-weather operation. Flow may be altered to favor the reduction agent system, such as based upon time and/or the temperature of the cabin. | 01-31-2013 |
