ABSTRACT:
An improved cooling system for a skid steer loader includes a swing-up radiator and oil cooler assembly (60) incorporating a pair of radiators (64, 88) supported for independent pivotal movement between raised and lowered positions to facilitate access to the radiators, as well as access to the engine and associated components for service, maintenance and the like. The lowermost radiator (64) serves as the hydraulic oil cooler, and is supported in a frame (62) pivotal about a generally longitudinal axis (78). The uppermost radiator (88) serves as the engine cooler and is mounted in another shelf (86) pivotal about a second longitudinal axis (104). A latch assembly (106, 108, 110, 112 and 114) is provided for releasably securing the entire radiator and oil cooler assembly (60) in a lowered position and at least the upper radiator (88) in a raised position.
