Disclosed is a work vehicle having a load carrier deck provided at a rear portion of a vehicle body to be vertically pivotable between an elevated discharging posture and a lowered load carrying posture. An engine section is provided under the load carrier deck. The engine section includes an engine, an exhaust muffler for the engine, and a muffler heat insulating cover for covering an outer circumference of the exhaust muffler. The muffler heat insulating cover is supported by a vehicle body frame via an anti-vibration member.

Work vehicle

A work vehicle includes an engine and a belt-type continuously variable transmission device provided on a lateral side of the engine and configured to (i) receive power from the engine and (ii) output the power to a traveling device while varying the power in terms of speed. The belt-type continuously variable transmission device has (i) an intake port which is present in the transmission device case and through which cooling air is sucked from outside the transmission device case into the transmission device case as a result of rotation of the rotary fan and (ii) a first exhaust port which is present in the transmission device case and through which the cooling air is discharged from inside the transmission device case as a result of the rotation of the rotary fan. The first exhaust port is present on a side of the exhaust pipe on which side the engine is present, and faces the engine.

A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an elastic support mechanism for supporting an exhaust muffler. The elastic support mechanism includes a support platform member, elastic cylindrical members and a bar-shaped member. The support platform member is supported by a rear-linking frame bar to adjust a position of the support platform member along one of lateral and longitudinal directions of the body frame. An elastic cylindrical member is supported by one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. The elastic cylindrical member has an axis extending along the other of the lateral and longitudinal directions, and is supported at a single position, in a direction of the axis, of one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. A bar-shaped member supported by the other of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler is fitted into the elastic cylindrical member to be supported by the elastic cylindrical member.

Provided is a utility work vehicle including an engine section, a speed changer device and a belt type stepless speed changer device, a rear frame supporting the engine section, and a main frame supporting the rear frame. The rear frame includes right and left rear wheel supporting portions, each of which has a front supporting member and a rear supporting member extending upwards from the rear frame. The rear supporting member disposed on more rear side of the vehicle body than the belt type stepless speed changer device has its upper end connected to a rear frame portion of the main frame. The front supporting member is disposed on more laterally outer side of the vehicle body than the belt type stepless speed changer device. Between an upper end of the front supporting member and the rear frame portion, there is formed a space that allows attachment/detachment of a speed changer cover detachably attached to the belt type stepless speed changer device from a laterally outer side of the vehicle body.

Utility work vehicle

A work vehicle includes an engine, a cooling fan for feeding cooling air to the engine, a fan cover for covering the cooling fan, and a shutter device provided at an ambient air inlet of the fan cover and openable and closable.

A utility vehicle provided with an engine in a rear portion of a vehicle body is disclosed. The engine is provided with a cylinder head, and has an exhaust gas outlet port formed to be open in a front surface of the engine. An exhaust pipe extends forward from the exhaust gas outlet port, then curves, and extends rearward. A cover that covers a front portion of the exhaust pipe includes: a front-side portion that covers a front side of the front portion of the exhaust pipe; an upper-side portion that extends rearward from an upper end portion of the front-side portion and covers an upper side of the front portion of the exhaust pipe; and an extension portion that extends rearward from a rear end portion of the upper-side portion and covers an upper side of a front portion of the cylinder head.
