A cab for a vehicle has an inset mesh screens along opposite side walls that define window openings through which an operator can view the surroundings, and the window opening is covered with a window assembly including a sliding window panel. The sliding window panel has a latch member that extends through a slot in the mesh screen, and a spring loaded knob that will seat in detents in the mesh screen at selected positions along the slot. The spring loaded knob is on the interior of the cab and is secured in place. The inset of the mesh screen forms a recessed receptacle for the window assembly so window panels of the window assembly do not project outwardly beyond the side surfaces of the cab.

Disclosed are work machine vehicles having an operator protective structure with a seat mounted in the operator protective structure. In disclosed embodiments, first and second adjustable armrest assemblies are mounted to a structure of the seat such that the first and second armrest assemblies can be adjusted in fore and aft directions relative to a seatback of the seat. Vehicle controls are integrated with the first and second adjustable armrest assemblies such that adjustment of the first and second adjustable armrest assemblies adjusts positions of the vehicle controls relative to an operator sitting on the seat. After adjustment, the vehicle controls and the operator sitting on the seat are maintained at constant relative positions with respect to each other even as the work machine vehicle moves over rough terrain and the seat moves up and down. A nested seatbar is pivotably mounted to a structure of the work machine vehicle such that the nested seatbar can be moved to a down position in which portions of the nested seatbar are located between the first and second adjustable armrests.
