A multi-purpose vehicle includes a rollover protection structure frame (ROPS frame) associated with a seat. The ROPS frame includes right and left front struts, and right and left rear struts. A handrail frame is attached to a lateral outer side of the seat. A cover member is attached to the handrail frame and extends upwards from the handrail frame.

Vehicle

A fuel tank for a work vehicle is disclosed. The fuel tank includes a tank body, an oil filling cylindrical portion protruding from the tank body, and an oil filler cap detachably attached to the oil filling cylindrical portion for opening/closing an oil filling opening of the oil filling cylindrical portion, A cap body of the oil filler cap has a tubular portion to be detachably fitted on the oil filling cylindrical portion and a lid portion formed at an upper end portion of the tubular portion for opening/closing the oil filling opening. A skirt portion extends from the cap body to opposite side to the lid portion relative to the tubular portion, a diameter of an extending end portion of the skirt portion being larger than a diameter of the tubular portion of the cap body.

Fuel tank for work vehicle

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, an occupants' section provided in the vehicle body and having a driver's seat and a passenger's seat and a storage space that is provided under seats and opened upwards, the storage space having a first storage space section disposed under the driver's seat and a second storage space section disposed under the passenger's seat. The seats are supported to be pivotable about an axis extending along the width direction of the vehicle body and access to the first storage space section and the second storage space section is made possible by upwardly pivoting these seats. The driver's seat is slidable along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. The first storage space section has a front-rear length shorter than the front-rear length of the second storage space section.

Work vehicle

In a door () of a cabin for work vehicle, which door () opens and closes an entrance of the cabin and includes a door main body (A) having a plurality of accessories (A), the door main body (A) is formed as a hollow welded unified structure having a door cavity (B), by welding an inner panel () to an outer panel () each made of a press-molded sheet-metal. An accessory attaching portion (B) is integrally molded with the inner panel (), and the outer panel () has an opening (J) formed therein for part assembly which allows the accessories (A) to be brought into the door cavity (B) and assembled to the accessory attaching portion (B). The outer pane () is further provided with a decorative cover () for closing the opening (J).

A tiltable steering wheel apparatus comprises a tilting mechanism provided under a grip portion of a steering wheel. The tilting mechanism includes a steering wheel support member for supporting the steering wheel to be tiltable about a pivotal axis extending along a transverse direction of a vehicle body, and a control lever switchable between a tilting allowing mode for allowing tilting movement of the steering wheel and a tilting preventing mode for preventing tilting movement of the steering wheel. The control lever has an extension extending toward the grip portion with a manual control portion provided in a distal end thereof to be operable with the fingers of the operator holding the grip portion of the steering wheel.

Tiltable steering wheel apparatus for work vehicle

A work vehicle includes a hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus and a gear type speed changing apparatus operable to receive output from the hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus to convert it into a plurality of stages of speed. A return oil passage connected to a high-pressure side circuit of the hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus is connected to a hydraulic tank. The return oil passage incorporates an unload valve and a throttle valve, between which an operably coupling mechanism is provided. This operably coupling mechanism switches over the unload valve to an unload condition in response to an operational displacement of a brake operating member for operating a brake to its braking side.

Work vehicle having hydraulic stepless speed changing apparatus

An operator's station structure for a work vehicle having a motor section, comprising: a seat that is disposed on the operator's station for a work vehicle and has a moveable seat part; and a removable storage box that is disposed below the seat, that has an upwardly opening shape, and that has an interior accessible by moving the seat part.
