FRONT ENGINE TRACTOR HAVING TRANSVERSE MIDSHIP MOUNTED HEAT EXCHANGER

摘要

FRONT ENGINE TRACTOR HAVING TRANSVERSE MIDSHIP MOUNTED HEAT EXCHANGER Engine location above or alternatively in front of the front axle of a two axle vehicle provides improved weight distribution in a tractor. Heat exchangers are located amidships with a fan drawing air through the heat exchangers and directing it around the engine. Heated air is directed away from the operator's compartment at the rear of the vehicle. Primary fuel tanks may also be mounted amidships and configured to provide arcuate planar surfaces for directing air borne noise and improving the flow of air to the heat exchangers.
