Abstract
A tractor has a chassis () which supports an engine () towards the front thereof. A deflecting shield () is positioned to the rear of the engine to deflect sideways hot air which has passed over the engine, and a tank () for the storage of urea based fluid for injection into an exhaust system of the engine is located behind the engine to the rear of the deflecting shield. The chassis to the rear of the engine may have an open-topped section () between the engine () and a transmission housing (), the tank being at least partially housed within the open-topped section of the chassis to shield the tank from the hot air which has passed over the engine and from the heating effects of the sun.
