ABSTRACT:
A gear shift connecting apparatus of the type operable to latch and release a gear shift rod of a tiltable tractor cab to a chassis portion of the tractor. The gear shift connecting apparatus includes a housing operably connected to the tractor chassis and a connection member fashioned on the lowermost portion of the gear shift rod. A hydraulically actuated connecting/release assembly is mounted within the housing and includes a cylindrical cup operable to receive the connection portion of the gear shift rod. In a connection mode spherical locking members carried by a cylindrical sleeve radially engage a connection portion of the gear shift rod. A locking/disabling sleeve is telescopically mounted about the cylindrical sleeve and is biased in a posture to retain the spherical locking members in contact with the gear shift rod. In a release mode a hydraulic chamber is actuated which slides the locking/disabling sleeve out of backup contact with the spherical locking members. The locking members are then cammed out of engagement with the gear shift rod to permit the gear shift rod to be separated from the housing and tractor chassis.
