A foot pedal for a mobile machine may include a foot support, an arm, and a mounting frame. The arm may have a first end coupled to the foot support and a second end opposite the first end. The arm may have a change in curvature, a concave side, and a convex side opposite the concave side. The mounting frame may be configured to be mounted to a surface extending in a first direction. The convex side may face the surface.

A steering assembly for a machine is provided. The steering assembly includes a frame. The steering assembly also includes a steering column mounted on the frame. The steering column includes a steering input device and a controller communicably coupled to the steering input device. The steering assembly further includes a steering wheel operably coupled to the steering column. The steering wheel is disposed adjacent to the steering input device.

An adjustable operator console for machine control is disclosed. The operator console may include a mount with a mount bracket configured to be mounted to an operator station of a machine and a control mount configured to support a control unit. The control unit may be configured to control an operation of a component of the machine. The mount may include an armrest bracket configured to support an armrest, an armrest mount configured to support the armrest bracket, a first actuator control configured to permit an adjustment to a position of the armrest relative to the control mount, and a second actuator control configured to permit an adjustment to a position of the armrest and the control unit relative to the operator station of the machine.

An engine crankcase breather includes a housing having a lower end including an inlet opening and an upper end including an outlet opening. The inlet opening lies in a horizontal plane and the outlet opening lies in a vertical plane. A mesh filter is positioned within the housing and includes opposing inlet and outlet faces defining a mesh filter thickness. The inlet and outlet faces are parallel to the inlet opening and are positioned below a central axis through the outlet opening. A bottom wall of the housing defines a portion of the lower end and includes a downward slope toward a lip defining the inlet opening. The mesh filter is spaced above the bottom wall. The engine crankcase breather also includes a plurality of oil return openings through the lip.

An electro-mechanical seat swivel system may include a bottom plate mounted on a frame of a machine or vehicle, and top plate pivotally mounted on the bottom plate, and an operator seat mounted on the top plate. A pawl may be movably mounted on the bottom plate and engage latch catch brackets mounted to the top plate to lock the seat in predetermined operator seat positions. An electro-mechanical actuator may be mounted to the seat and operatively coupled to the pawl. Latch control switches disposed at operator controls may be operated to cause the electro-mechanical actuator to disengage from one of the latch catch bracket to allow the seat to be rotated to another of the predetermined operator seat positions where the pawl will engage the corresponding latch catch bracket to again lock the operator seat in place.
