Abstract
The cooling system for a skid steer loader provides a unitary assembly that is pivotally mounted to the body portion of the loader above the engine. The unitary assembly includes a frame, first and second heat exchangers, a shroud, a guard, a drive mechanism, and a fan. During times of maintenance on the work machine the entire cooling system can be moved to a second position providing unencumbered access to the engine compartment.
