A change speed apparatus for a working vehicle includes a first shaft for receiving driving torque from an engine, a second shaft for transmitting the driving torque to a rear wheel differential, a change speed mechanism for changing speed of the driving torque received from the first shaft and transmits the driving torque to the second shaft, and a shift lever for selectively switching the change speed mechanism. The change speed mechanism has a high forward speed stage, a low forward speed stage, a backward drive stage, and a neutral stage. The shift lever is movable along a transverse control path for the neutral stage, a first longitudinal control path for the high forward speed stage, a second longitudinal control path for the low forward speed stage, and a third longitudinal control path for the backward drive stage.

An instrument panel to be mounted at a driver's section of a working vehicle such as a tractor is secured to a frame member which extends upwardly from a main frame. A panel cover for covering a steering-wheel peripheral section of the machine includes an opening through which the instrument panel is exposed to the outside and this panel cover is detachably attached to the frame member.

A forward-reverse changeover apparatus for working vehicles which comprises frist and second multiplate clutches, and an input shaft and an output shaft arranged concentrically with and separated from each other. Output gears extending from the first and second clutches respectively have the same number of teeth, and the output gear from the second clutch is positioned closer to the input shaft than an input gear on the output shaft.

Forward-reverse changeover apparatus for working vehicle

An offset type tractor with attachment of a first working implement longitudinally between front and rear wheels and of a second working implement rearwardly of the rear wheels, with the possibility of separate, independent maneuvering as well as common, simultaneous maneuvering modes of raising and lowering the first and the second implements. A mechanism for raising and lowering the first implement is disposed so as not to impair a clear front view from the offset type tractor.

Offset type tractor

An offset type tractor having a driving assembly such as an engine and a transmission case, and a supporting frame therefor are eccentrically disposed at either side with respect to the center line of the tractor body width, while a control wheel and a driver's seat are disposed on the center line of the tractor body width. A control wheel, a supporting post of a turned structure for supporting the control wheel, and an adjusting structure for adjusting the control wheel in the direction close to and away from the driver.

An offset type tractor, especially for agricultural work, comprising a structural unit including an engine and transmission casing directly connected to the engine, the unit being offset to one lateral side of the longitudinal center line of the tractor. The rear drive wheels of the tractor are mounted on the transmission casing. A reinforcement frame is securely affixed on a continuing lateral surface both of the engine and the transmission casing, on the side thereof nearer to the longitudinal center line of the tractor.
