A boom truck with splayed forward stabilizers which permits loads to be lifted over the front of the vehicle without a central front jack and further having a pair of rear stabilizers which are separated from the splayed forward stabilizers along a substantial length of and near the rear end of the vehicle frame. The boom truck being made in a process where the attachment of the rear stabilizers is done in a separate and distinct process from the attachment of the splayed forward stabilizers.

Boom truck with splayed forward front stabilizers

A transmission () for a vehicle () includes a gear shaft () having a fluid passage (), and a gear () having a first bore mounted to the gear shaft (). The gear has a first axial face () with a plurality of teeth (), and a first undercut () at each of the first bore and the first axial face. A shift collar () has a second bore () mounted to the gear shaft (). The second bore () is axially movable and rotationally fixed relative to the gear shaft (). The shift collar () has a second axial face () with a plurality of teeth (), and a second undercut () at each of the second bore () and the second axial face (). The teeth () of the second axial face () are enmeshable with the teeth () of the first axial face (). An annular piston () is slidably mounted to the gear shaft () and positioned within each of the first undercut () and the second undercut (). The annular piston () is configured to move the shift collar () away from the gear using pressurized fluid in the fluid passage ().

Transmission gear engagement mechanism and method of operation

A transmission () for a vehicle () includes a gear arrangement having a gear shaft () and a gear () mounted to the gear shaft (). The gear () is axially movable and rotationally fixed relative to the gear shaft (). A housing () includes an access opening () and an access cover () over the access opening (). The access cover () rotatably carries one end of the gear shaft (). The access opening () is sized and shaped to allow the gear () to be moved through and out of the housing ().
