A cab assembly is disclosed for use with a machine having a frame. The cab assembly may include an operator cab with a first side and a second side, a plurality of cab mounts connecting the operator cab to the frame, and a hydraulic cylinder connected at one end to the operator cab and at an opposing end to the frame. The plurality of cab mounts may be selectively disconnected from the operator cab to allow the hydraulic cylinder to tilt the operator cab toward the first side or the second side of the operator cab.

A machine for collecting tie plates strewn along a rail bed includes a frame adapted for travel along a railroad in a forward direction. A pickup drum having magnetic properties is rotatably supported by the frame and extends over a bed portion of the railroad. A top drum is mounted at a location that is higher and forward of the pickup drum and rotates parallel to the pickup drum. An endless conveyor circulates around the pickup and top drums, and a separation drum is disposed between the pickup drum and the top drum along an ascending portion of the endless conveyor. The separation drum includes a magnetized rim that can lift ferrous objects but not tie plates from the endless conveyor.

A cleaner unit is provided for applying a liquid cleaning solution onto the surface of an information disk, such as a so-called compact laser disk or the like. The cleaner unit includes a housing with a rotatable spindle (22) adapted to support the information disk in a generally horizontal orientation, in combination with a circulation system having a rotatable pump impeller (24) for spraying a jet of a cleaning solution onto the underside of the disk (12) near the spindle. A drive motor is operated by a control circuit for initially rotating the spindle and impeller in a first direction for spraying the cleaning solution against the spinning disk, with the rotational disk movement causing the cleaning solution to spread radially outwardly as a film over the underside disk surface. The cleaning solution is thrown from the disk periphery and is captured by an outer contoured deflector shroud (99) for recirculation to the pump impeller. At the conclusion of a short cleaning cycle, the control circuit reverses the direction of spindle and impeller rotation to spin the disk in an opposite or second direction for the duration of a short dry cycle, without applying cleaning solution to the disk.

Tank

A composite metal and plastic tank consisting of a metal frame assembly with a replaceable hollow plastic container mounted therein. The plastic container has downwardly inclined flow channels formed in its base to insure complete drainage of the container when desired and the bottom wall of the frame assembly is flat to enable handling of the tank with conventional fork lift equipment. A comprehensive dunnage plate is interposed in the frame assembly between the container base and the frame bottom wall.
