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 1):
A lift arm structure for a power machine, the lift arm structure comprising:\n an upper lift arm portion comprising first and second upper lift arm sections each having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to be rotatably coupled to the power machine at the proximal end; a lower lift arm portion comprising a first lower lift arm casting and a second lower lift arm casting, the first and second lower lift arm castings respectively secured to the first and second upper lift arm sections, each of the first and second lower lift arm castings having a cross-member attachment aperture and an implement carrier attachment aperture formed therein; and a cross-member extending between the cross-member attachment apertures of the first and second lower lift arm castings.
