An improved mechanism for a movable seat for use on a bi-directional work vehicle that laterally shifts the lower seating surface as it is pivoted between raised and lowered positions to increase clearance adjacent to the seat to improve operator ingress and egress to the vehicle operator platform. The incorporation of a biasing mechanism enables the seat mechanism to automatically reposition the seat for maximum ingress/egress clearance when the vehicle operator rises from the seat.

Seat for a bi-directional work vehicle

An engine compartment arrangement for an agricultural harvester comprises an engine (), a diesel particulate filter () coupled to the engine () to receive and filter hot exhaust gases therefrom, a fan (), a radiator () disposed in a cooling airflow path in front of the fan () and coupled to the engine () to cool said engine (), a cleaning air duct () having a first end () disposed immediately behind the fan () to receive a portion of the air ejected from the fan (), and having a second end () disposed adjacent to the top of the diesel particulate filter () to exhaust a jet of the ejected air at a sufficient speed and in sufficient volume across the top surface () of the diesel particular filter () to prevent an accumulation of agricultural debris on top of the diesel particulate filter ().

Engine compartment arrangement for cleaning diesel particulate filter

A work vehicle includes a frame, a cab structure pivotably connected to the frame and an implement connected to the frame. A body is disposed between the cab structure and the implement to sufficiently limit pivotal movement of the cab structure with respect to the implement to prevent damage to the cab structure by the implement.

Protection device for a pivotable cab structure

A work vehicle includes a frame, and a cab structure and a seat each pivotably connected to the frame. A mechanical interconnection is provided between the cab structure and a seat. In response to the cab structure pivoting away from the frame by a predetermined amount, the seat is urged to pivot away from the frame by the mechanical interconnection.

Tether attachment for seat tilting

A work vehicle is provided including a frame structurally carrying a cab structure having a brim including a plurality of viewing openings. The cab structure structurally carries a window in close proximity to the brim and is disposed above an operating viewing position. The window and brim are in viewing alignment from the operating viewing position. The window is sufficiently disposed within the cab structure for protection from vertically falling objects.

Work vehicle viewing system

A work vehicle includes a frame, a cab structure connected to the frame and a seat connected to the frame. A substantially rigid restraining device of unitary construction is pivotably connected behind the seat to any one of the frame, the cab structure, or the frame and the cab structure. The pivotable connection between the restraining device and the frame and/or the cab structure is adjustable.

Adjustable mounting restraint device

A door is provided. The door is pivotably connectable to a cab structure of a work vehicle and includes a handle secured to the door disposed for facilitating door closure against the cab structure from interior of the cab structure. Upon application of a door closure force to the handle, torsion forces applied to the door by the door closure force and a door opening device pivotably connected to the cab structure and to the door in close proximity to the handle, or pivotably connected to the cab structure and to the handle, as calculated at the device pivotable connection opposite the cab structure, are substantially eliminated.

Gas strut mounting to door handle

A work vehicle includes a frame, and a cab structure and a seat each pivotably connected to the frame. In response to the cab structure and seat being disposed in an operating position with the frame, the cab structure substantially prevents pivotable movement of the seat.
