A liquid cooling structure for a motor includes: a casing; an end plate provided at a cylinder end of the casing; a stator; a rotor; and a substantially cylindrical bulkhead extending along a direction of extension of an axis passing through a center of the stator from an inner surface of the end plate such that the bulkhead faces an inner peripheral surface of the casing with a gap therebetween to allow coolant to flow through the gap. The casing has a coolant inlet passing through the casing to guide externally supplied coolant to the gap, the stator includes a stator core having teeth protruding from the inner peripheral portion of the stator core, and coils wound around the respective teeth, and the bulkhead has nozzle hole portions passing therethrough to allow the coolant flowing in the gap to be ejected to an interior space defined by the bulkhead.

In a riding work vehicle, power of an engine is transmitted to a traveling wheel via a horizontally oriented transmission shaft and a vertically oriented transmission shaft. The traveling wheel is supported to be changeable in direction about a rotational axis of the vertically oriented transmission shaft. Each of the vertically oriented transmission shaft and a vertically oriented transmission case is provided as an inner/outer double structure expandable/contractible in association with sliding movement thereof. The vertically oriented transmission case is supported to be pivotable together with the traveling wheel. There is provided a vehicle height adjustment mechanism capable of switching, in a plurality of steps, a relative height of the traveling wheel relative to a vehicle body frame.

A mounting arrangement for mounting a cooler unit to a work machine has a traveling device, a machine body frame, an engine and the cooler unit disposed adjacent the engine. The arrangement includes a support deck provided in the machine body frame for supporting the cooler unit, an attachment unit for releasably fixing the cooler unit to the machine body frame and a movement mechanism provided between the cooler unit and the support deck, the movement mechanism allowing the cooler unit to effect a translational movement to change a distance relative to the engine.
