    • A sled for use in tractor pulling contests, and the like, comprising a frame supported on front and rear wheels, a ballast mass supported by the frame, a pan adapted for sliding frictional engagement with the ground, and an articulated linkage mechanism for transfering the weight of the ballast from the wheels to pan. As the sled is pulled, the linkage mechanism, which is driven by rotation of the rear wheels, progressively shifts the weight of the sled from the wheels to the pan, by lowering the pan relative to the frame. The suspension springs for the rear axle have a greater vertical stroke than those for the front. Therefore, although the front wheels may ultimately be completely lifted from the ground during the weight transfer, the rear wheels always contact the ground with a force sufficient to drive the linkage mechanism. suBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTractor pulling contests have become increasingly popular. Originally merely a local activity, popular at county fairs for competition among actual agricultural machines, tractor pulling is now an important motor sport in its own right. Championships on state and nation levels are contested among machines that will never pull a combine, some of them capable of producing over two thousand horsepower. For such high level competition, accurate measuring devices are essential. The old fashioned simple sled to which weights were progressively added during a competition is obsolete.Current competition requires a sled which will progressively increase its frictional force on the ground as it is pulled by a tractor, until ultimately the tractor is stopped by the drag. A common type of sled device suitable for such competition is examplified by the disclosure in U.S. Pat. No. 3,491,590 to Billy K. Watkins. The Watkins sled, and others based on the same principle, comprises a frame supported on the rear end by wheels, and on its front end by a ground engaging pan or sled. A ballast box is rolled on tracks or rails carried by the frame from the rear of the sled, adjacent the rear wheels, to the front of the sled, adjacent the ground engaging pan. As the sled is pulled, the ballast box is automatically shifted from the rear to the forward position, thereby progressively increasing the weight supported by the pan, and thus the frictional drag. The ballast box may be moved forward by geared-down rotation of the sled's rear wheels, or by a pulley and cable arrangement, attached to a dead-man stake anchored to the ground behind the sled. The following U.S. patents all disclose similar devices in which a ballast box is moved forward on a frame relative to rear wheels, a distance proportional to the distance which the sled device is pulled.U.S. Pat. No. 3,491,590--WatkinsU.S. Pat. No. 3,633,413--CaseU.S. Pat. No. 3,659,455--WatkinsU.S. Pat. No. 3,667,291--PeakU.S. Pat. No. 3,741,010--LuedtkeU.S. Pat. No. 3,967,496--LuedtkeAll of these devices shift the center of gravity forward from a rear wheel support to a front ground-engaging slidable support.However, sleds of this design have drawbacks. Typically, many tons of ballast are necessary, yet the most powerful tractors will still attain speed of perhaps 40 mph (65 km/h) before being stopped by the drag of the sled. At such speeds, a large weight shiftably mounted on the sled and moving relative to the sled is obviously dangerous. This danger is recognized by the National Tractor Pullers Association, whose rules require that . . ."Each sled must have two complete sets of stops at the front of the rails. Stops shall be made of substantial material, strong enough to halt a fully loaded free wheeling weight box, and be securely fastened to the transfer."Nevertheless, despite precautions, the danger in this device is inherent. Returning the massive ballast box on its rails across the length of said sled also presents opportunities for accidents.There is, accordingly, a need for a tractor pull sled capable of providing increasing fictional drag with the ground during a pull, without requiring any significant movement of a ballast means relative to the sled.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe invention provides a tractor pulling sled producing progressively increasing drag as it is pulled, but eliminating the necessitity for longitudinal movement of a ballast box on the sled frame. The invention comprises a ballasted frame supported at both ends on wheels, a ground engaging pan vertically shiftable relative to the frame, and an articulated linkage for shifting the pan downwardly relative to the frame. Leaf springs between the wheel axle and the frame suspend the weight of the frame and ballast over the wheels. As the sled is pulled forward, the rotational motion of the rear wheels is translated by gears and drive chains into a linear force which operates the linkage mechanism. The parallelogram linkage is articulated between the frame and the ground engaging pan. As the linkage expands, therefore, the pan is first lowered to the ground, then the frame is pushed upwardly from the pan. As the frame and ballast rise, progressively less of their weight is transmitted through the leaf springs to the wheels, and more is transmitted through the linkage mechanism to the pan. Ultimately, the front wheels of the sled are lifted completely off of the ground, and are suspended from the frame on the leaf springs. The suspension of the rear wheels is adapted to maintain the rear wheels' contact with the ground, so that the drive mechanism will continue to be driven.

    • Tractor hydraulic power lift mechanisms may have automatic draft control signals fed back to them from lower link draft force sensing systems. One such system has two bowed rearwardly-extending leaf springs anchored to the tractor frame at their front ends, two laterally-spaced arms pivoted at their upper ends to the tractor frame and at their lower ends to the rear ends of the respective springs, a cross-bar universally supported by the lower ends of the respective arms and having two attachment points laterally offset from said arms to which the front ends of respective lower hitch links are universally connectible, and linkage for deriving a control signal from the fore and aft displacement of the mid-point of the cross-bar. However, the cross-bar is stressed in bending to the detriment of the control signal accuracy. To avoid this, a summating bar is universally connected between said arms and the control signal derived from a point on the unstressed summating bar.

    • Device for instant, continuing meter display of relative engine torque and tachometer output together with power indication. The engine torque and power read-out derives from electro-mechanically coupling the engine to the dynamometer to sense the motion caused by the torque reaction of a motor or other torquing force. A motion sensor outputs a signal which can be made to read-out directly in torque on either a relative or absolute scale. Power indication is obtained by multiplying the tachometer and torque signals so that the resulting output is directly read-out in horsepower on either a relative or absolute scale.

    • Variable inertia flywheel apparatus for use with a chassis dynamometer, during vehicle engine exhaust gas emission measurements. The apparatus simulates the effect of vehicle roadway-inertia loads on the engine during acceleration and deceleration, while the vehicle is being operated on the dynamometer. A wide range of inertia loads are simulated by three flywheels, each having a different mass; two of the flywheels are each driven from a main shaft, connected with a dynamometer roll, at two different speed ratios, and the third flywheel is driven from the same main shaft at three different speed ratios. More specifically, the flywheels are driven by sheaves and separate sets of belts that can be independently and selectively tensioned to drive one or more of the flywheels at a speed ratio relative to the speed of the dynamometer rolls so as to simulate the corresponding inertia loads. The third flywheel, which normally is in use at all times during a test, is designed to compensate for the inertia load of the particular power absorption unit, dynamometer rolls, drive belts, etc., with which the apparatus is used. Inertia load increments of 250 pounds can be simulated for testing vehicles weighing between about 1,500 pounds through 3,000 pounds, and 500 pound inertia load increments can be simulated for vehicles weighing between about 3,000 and 5,500 pounds. The flywheels are driven by sets of belts tensioned by idlers carried by shift plates operated by control levers that can be individually and selectively shifted to provide the 1,500 to 5,500 pound vehicle weight range of inertia loads, as well as a no-inertia load condition.
