A cooling jacket assembly is made for an electric motor or generator. A hollow cylindrical housing is cast with an outer peripheral surface and an annular axially facing end surface, a plurality of grooves formed in the outer peripheral surface and a radial lip at one end. The outer peripheral surface is machined into a smooth surface having a uniform diameter. Inlet and outlet ports are drilled through the end surface to communicate with the grooves. A pair of sealing recesses are formed in the outer peripheral surface on opposite sides of the grooves, and an O-ring seal is placed in each recess. A cylindrical sleeve is slid over the outer peripheral surface of the housing until it engages the lip and so that the sleeve slidably engages the outer peripheral surface and sealing engages the seals.

A work vehicle includes an engine; at least one continuously variable power source (CVP) configured to operate according to a commanded torque; an output shaft; a transmission positioned operatively between the output shaft and the engine and the CVP such that the output shaft selectively receives power from one or both of the engine and the at least one CVP; and a prognostics system configured to monitor a respective component associated with at least one of the output shaft or the transmission. The prognostics system includes a prognostics controller having a processor and memory architecture, configured to: receive input data, including the commanded torque; generate a usage value for the respective component for a time period as a function of the commanded torque; aggregate the usage value with previous usage values to generate a prognostics value over a life of the respective component; and store the prognostics value.

A method of hot drop fastening components and a product thereby made is described. Machine components are provided. A first machine component defines a passageway and carries a coating. The first machine component is caused to expand by delivering a predetermined amount of energy to the first machine component, wherein the predetermined amount of energy is based on a property of the coating. A second machine component is inserted into the passageway of the expanded first machine component. Thereafter, the first machine component is permitted to cool with the first machine component inserted in the passageway thereby fastening the first machine component with the second machine component by the first machine component contracting as it cools. Properties such as adhesion and/or rust prevention properties of a primer coating in a motor manufactured using a hot drop process are preserved during the hot drop process in the manufactured product.

A power take-off system and method is provided for a vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine, an electrical generator, an electrical machine, a power take-off summing planetary and a power take-off brake. The power take-off system includes a controller and a human-machine interface. The controller is configured to receive an input from the human-machine interface to select one of a variable speed power take-off mode, an electrical power generation mode, and a full power fixed ratio power take-off mode of operation. In the variable speed power take-off mode, electrical power from the electrical generator and rotational power by the power take-off system are output, and the electrical machine receives electricity and provides rotational power. In the electrical power generation mode, the electrical generator and the electrical machine both provide electrical power. In the full power fixed ratio mode, no electrical power is provided.
