It is to be understood that although I have described my invention in connection with certain specific embodiments various otherforms of the invention will become apparent and that numerous and extensive departures may be made therefrom without, however, departing from the spirit of my invention claims.
.I claim:
or-the scope of theappended 1, In an excavating 01' load handling machine, atruck chassis=having mounted thereon a turntable upon which a superstructure is erected, a
machinery frame for said superstructure and a cab structure, a counterweight removably secured adjacent the rear end of said cab structure consisting of a semi-cylindrical weight, said weight being adapted to be suspended from the upper portion of the machinery frame for the superstructure, kid beams beingv adapted to be mounted on saidtruck chassis under the counterweight and removably secured thereto, said top of said skid beams'are then covered with a" I coating of axle or cuprgrease.
The counterweight is then lowered by again until they are free from the suspension rods 24 and the sleeve nuts holdthe rod26 in placeinv the counterweight. V r r, .r'
. The counterweight is then skidded back on the skid beam 32 by either pulling the count rweight with acable looped through the'cord pocket 3'! in the counterweight or the vehicle carrying the superstructure could be started in'reverse'and the brakes then jammed ion to skid the counterweight back against the stops-38 on the skid beams.
The weight is then removed fromjhe skid beams by revolving the craneor other super- :structure and hooking onto the-counterweight lifting-eyes 39 with a hoisting hook blocker the I like whereby the counterweight can be placed in a utilitytruck-eli, as illustrated inFig. 9, for
transportation either to, or away from a job.
Toinstall the counterweight on an excavating or load handling machine, theireverse procedure is;lfollo'wed, The counterweight is placed on the skid beams' extended rearwardly of theoperators cab, thev counterweight drawn underneath the operators cab toa positionsuch as illustrated inFig. 7, the sleeve nuts lifted toengage the threaded rods 24 and turned up as byawrench' counterweight being adapted to beremoved from said suspended relation with said machinery frame and from said mounting and being supturning the sleeve. nuts 25 ,downwardly'until the" counterweight restsv on the top of the skid beams .32; The sleeve nuts are loosened, as illustrated, chine, V
