<p>A tractor has a full frame (10) of which longitudinal girders connect the front and rear axes (20, 24). The frame is narrow in the front region and wide in the rearward region. The engine (22) is located adjacent the front axle (20) between the longitudinal beams (11), and a transverse gearbox (300), which has its major dimension in the axle direction, is disposed in the end region of the rear frame. Sufficient room is provided in this way between engine (22) and gearbox (300) to accomodate a large volume fuel tank (32). The vehicle cab (36) can be moved forward with the benefit of ease of entry resulting from the forward shifting of the engine (22). The radiator (46) is in front of the engine. Removal of the fuel tank from its convention position under the front of the engine cowling also makes space for standards (44) supporting a vertical front-lift-arrangement.</p> |
