Abstract
A dual seat arrangement for an earthworking vehicle consists of a first seat including a seat cushion fixed to the vehicle body and a backrest pivotally supported on the vehicle body about a generally horizontal first pivot axis. A second rearwardly facing seat is pivoted on the vehicle body about a second parallel horizontal axis and the backrest and second seat are interconnected by a rigid link so that the two move as a unit between generally horizontal and generally vertical positions which respectively define the operative position for the rearwardly facing seat and the operative position for the forwardly facing backrest. A single releasable latch means is utilized for defining the upright position while the generally horizontal position is defined by supporting the seat directly on the vehicle frame structure.
