A monitoring apparatus for a construction machine having an engine includes sensors for detecting abnormality conditions at various predetermined inspection positions. A warning system, cooperating with the sensors, provides an engine idling signal and a visual display in accordance with the detected abnormality condition. A delay circuit causes the warning system to activate the visual display only if the abnormality condition continues for a predetermined time after issuance of the engine idling signal. The engine idling signal itself is provided without delay upon detection of the abnormality condition, and causes the engine to idle.

Monitoring apparatus for a construction machine

An electric hydraulic control device for controlling hydraulic cylinders of work tools in a construction vehicle, in which control valves of the hydraulic cylinders are controlled in two ways. For some work tools which need not be controlled smoothly and finely, the corresponding control valves are controlled directly by an electric signal outputted according to the position of the operation levers, and for other work tools which must be controlled smoothly and finely, the corresponding control valves are controlled through an electric servo mechanism which is operated by an electric signal representative of the amount by which the operation lever is manipulated. In addition, there is provided a detector for detecting as to whether the transmission lever is in the locked condition, and electric systems of all of the control valves are rendered inoperative when the transmission lever is in the locked condition.

Electric hydraulic controll device for a construction vehicle

A scavenging gear pump for use in a final drive comprising a drive gear and a driven gear, each being mounted for rotation and in mesh with each other. The drive gear is coupled with an input shaft and rotated thereby and has formed therein a fluid passage for communicating an outlet port of the pump with a fluid chamber formed in the input shaft. A plurality of guide passages are formed in the input shaft for supplying lubricant from the fluid chamber to rotary components, such as bearings and gears.

Scavenging pump

A track-type vehicle having a pair of steering clutches and associated steering brakes which includes a pair of actuator members each movable to sequential positions to sequentially effect disengagement of the respective steering clutches and then actuation of the respective steering brakes. Independent actuation member is provided for allowing the steering brake to be actuated without disengagement of the associated clutch.
