ABSTRACT:
A pivotable tractor fender assembly permits the fender to follow the turning movements of the front wheels of a tractor, yet be pivotable relative to the corresponding front wheel so that the fender will not engage the chassis of the tractor. A fixed control link is pivotally connected between the fender base and the front axle to provide a fixed distance between the respective connection points. The control link will limit the pivotal movement of the fender and effect a relative pivotal movement thereof relative to the corresponding front wheel as the front wheel is turned. The geometry of the pivotable fender assembly is such that the fender lags more behind the corresponding front wheel during an inboard turn than during an outboard turn. This geometry prevents the pivoted fenders from impacting the tractor chassis on tight turns.
