ABSTRACT:
An improved actuator is disclosed for operating the locking pin of a tilt cab locking device to the released position against the biasing force of a spring that normally biases the locking pin toward a locked position relative to blade and blade housing members secured to the vehicle chassis and to the tilt cab, respectively. The invention is characterized in that the actuator includes a unitary housing having an outer tubular portion secured at one end to a rigid leg of the blade housing about the locking opening, a first transverse wall closing the other end of the outer tubular portion and containing a first opening, an inner tubular portion arranged in concentrically spaced relation within the outer tubular portion and secured at one end with said first transverse wall about said first opening, and a second transverse wall closing the other end of the inner tubular portion. A fluid motor contained within the inner tubular portion operates a locking rod that extends through a second opening contained in the second transverse wall, the locking rod being connected at one end to the locking pin.
