A machine has a mount, a support mounted pivotally to the mount to pivot relative to the mount about a first pivot axis between a first support position and a second support position, and a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is mounted pivotally to the support to pivot relative to the support about a second pivot axis between a first exchanger position and a second exchanger position.

Heat exchanger pivotable for clean-out

A system for reliably enabling an implement controller for a work vehicle having a swivel seat with at least two angular positions. The system includes an implement controller for controlling a work implement, seat position detector for determining the positions of the swivel seat, an ignition switch and an implement controller toggle switch. The system is capable of enabling the implement controller under ideal enablement conditions and non-ideal enablement conditions. Ideal enablement conditions exist when the implement controller toggle switch is toggled to an implement controller enabling state while the ignition switch is on and the seat is properly positioned. Non-ideal enablement conditions exit when the implement controller toggle switch is put in an implement controller enabling state in the absence of ideal enablement conditions.

Enabling system for an implement controller

A controller tower positioning system for a work vehicle for securing the controller tower to one of at least two positions. The system employs a mounting bracket fixed to the floor or a frame member of the work vehicle, a movable controller tower rotatably mounted to the mounting bracket and a resistive element strategically mounted to the controller tower and the mounting bracket to provide resistance to movement away from either of the two positions and a toggle effect as the controller tower is moved from one of the two positions to the other. The controller assembly is physically restrained at the free end of the controller tower.

Fresh air enters the operator's cab of a work vehicle through a fresh air filter. The fresh air filter is mounted to the operator's cab and is held in place by a door. The door is pivotally mounted to the exterior of the operator's cab, so that the fresh air filter can be serviced from outside the operator's cab. The door is held in place by a latch having a handle that is located inside the operator's cab. The housing is a plastic molded door having integral pivot studs that pivotally engage the operator's cab. The door is provided with a back wall having a first opening located adjacent to the filter and through which fresh air passes to the filter. The door is also provided with louvers for providing a pneumatic path for fresh air to reach the filter. The pneumatic path extends first upwardly from the louvers and then downwardly towards the filter.
