Abstract:
A stabilizer pad assembly for use with a stabilizer arm, said stabilizer pad assembly comprising:a pair of laterally spaced apart plate members; a pin extending between said plate members for providing pivotal support of said plate members from said stabilizer arm; a resilient pad formed with upper and lower substantially planar working surfaces, and with at least one passage extending transversely therethrough between opposite lateral sides of said resilient pad; at least one mounting member extending through the at least one passage in said resilient pad and fixedly supported from at least one of said pair of plate members, said at least one mounting member having a non-circular cross-sectional configuration; said at least one mounting member being the primary structural support for said resilient pad, said resilient pad being supported substantially only at said opposite lateral sides thereof while leaving both of the working surfaces unsupported; and at least one fastener for removably holding the resilient pad to said at least one mounting member; said resilient pad being selectively removable from said at least one mounting member and reversible relative to said plate members for permitting selective positioning of either the upper surface or the lower surface of the resilient pad for use as a working surface for ground engagement.
