ABSTRACT:
A three-wheeled machine carries a hopper positioned to receive paving material from a dump truck immediately in front of the machine, the hopper being emptied by a conveyor oriented transversely to the path of the machine. A left front wheel, a left rear wheel and a right side wheel support the machine and are so connected to the machine and to actuating mechanisms as to lift or lower the left and right sides of the machine in a selective manner, and thereby enable the machine to be elevated or lowered in level fashion, or to be inclined either toward the left or toward the right. The left rear wheel and the right wheel are independently driven and thus afford "skid steer" capability. Of particular interest is the construction and operation of the left rear wheel which selectively enables it to be moved not only up and down but also in a fore and aft direction between a retracted position, for compactness while the machine is being transported, and a projected position, for maximum stability of the machine while being operated.
