Abstract:
Disclosed embodiments include power machines and related structures of lift arms, implement carriers, follower links, and driver links which improve manufacturability, reduce component failures, and improve power machine design and functionality. In some embodiments, lift arm structures include cast lower lift arm portions. The cast lower lift arm portions include contoured upper ends which are sleeved onto contoured lower ends of upper lift arm portions to control stress points and to reduce stresses on welds. The follower link structures can include follower links which are configured to be positioned at least partially outside of the lift arm structure to improve rear visibility. The driver link structures can be configured to be laterally overlapping with innermost surfaces on the lift cylinder, but configured such that as the lift arm is raised the laterally overlapping portions are moved above the innermost surfaces of the lift cylinder.

Claim (Index 10):
An implement carrier configured to be pivotally coupled to a lift arm structure of a power machine, the implement carrier comprising:\n first and second implement carrier plate castings providing implement interface surfaces configured to engage with an implement to be mounted on the lift arm structure of the power machine, wherein each of the first and second implement carrier plate castings has formed therein a lift arm attachment aperture configured to pivotally attach the implement carrier plate casting to the lift arm structure, a tilt cylinder attachment aperture configured to pivotally attach a tilt cylinder to the implement carrier plate casting, and a cross-member receiving collar; and a cross-member secured to and extending between the cross-member receiving collars of the first and second implement carrier plate castings.
