Speed shift arrangement for work vehicle

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fuel tank is supported by the front surface of an operator's cabin. A center frame fixed to a body is coupled to the fuel tank via an external-force transmission part. The external-force transmission part permits vertical movement of the cabin relative to the center frame, while regulating lateral movement of the cabin relative to the center frame when an external force greater than a predetermined value is applied to the cabin.
