A vehicle wheel includes a rim having an inner peripheral surface, and a center disc. The center disc includes a disc portion, and an arm plate portion extending radially outward from the disc portion. The arm plate portion includes an outer boundary defined by a plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces and a plurality of concave boundary surfaces. The plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces have a radius equal to a radius of the inner peripheral surface of the rim. The plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces are joined to the inner peripheral surface of the rim at a weld attachment interface to produce a plurality of holes defined by the plurality of concave boundary surfaces and the inner peripheral surface of the rim.

Vehicle wheel

A work vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a rotating connection unit provided in the vehicle frame, and a caster assembly connected to the rotating connection unit. The rotating connection unit includes a housing sleeve, a swivel post, a first bearing and a second bearing supporting the swivel post to be rotatable within the housing sleeve, and a rotation stopper disposed between the swivel post and the housing sleeve to stop rotation of the swivel post. The caster assembly includes a caster wheel, and a caster bracket connected to the swivel post to rotatably support the caster wheel.

Work vehicle

A work vehicle includes a driver's seat supported to a frame unit, a first hydraulic stepless speed changing device transmitting power to a first drive wheel, a second hydraulic stepless speed changing device transmitting power to a second drive wheel, and an oil tank. A bridge beam extending in a vehicle body transverse direction is provided between a cable harness extending in the vehicle body transverse direction and a hydraulic passage connecting the second hydraulic stepless speed changing device to the oil tank.

Work vehicle having engine and hydraulic stepless speed changing device

There is provided a work vehicle including: an engine in which a pulley for transmitting power is fitted to an output shaft disposed in such a manner as to project downward from a bottom; and a mount surface at which an opening, into which the pulley can be inserted, is formed, and further, on which the engine is mounted in the state in which the pulley is inserted into the opening from above. The work vehicle is further provided with a fixed plate that is fixed to the bottom of the engine and joined to the mount surface so as to fix the engine onto the mount surface. The output shaft is inserted through the fixed plate, and further, the fixed plate is interposed between the bottom of the engine and the pulley.
