Abstract

To achieve a simplification and a weight saving of a support structure to a track frame and a travel machine body a working vehicle is provided with the travel machine body which mounts an engine thereon, the track frame which is arranged in a lower portion of the travel machine body, and a travel crawler which is installed to the track frame via a drive wheel body and driven wheel bodies. The track frame is structured such that a pair of steel plate bodies are detachably fastened by fastening members wide surfaces of the steel plate bodies being faced to each other.

Claims (15)

1. A working vehicle comprising:

a travel machine body which mounts an engine thereon;

a track frame which is provided in a lower portion of the travel machine body; and

a travel crawler which is installed to the track frame via a drive wheel body and a driven wheel body;

wherein the track frame is structured such that a pair of steel plate bodies are detachably fastened by a fastening member, wide surfaces of the steel plate bodies being faced to each other;

wherein a link support body is attached to a rear axle case which transmits a rotary power to the drive wheel body, and the track frame is coupled to the link support body via a pair of front and rear link members so as to be capable of oscillating forward and backward;

wherein the driven wheel body is constructed by a pair of front and rear driven wheel bodies, and a lower end side of the rear link member is rotatably pivoted to a rotary support shaft of the rear driven wheel body;

wherein the link support body is attached to the laterally outermost side portion of the rear axle case; and

wherein a lower link attaching pin is provided for pivoting a base end side of a lower link arranged in the rear portion of the travel machine body and is extended outward in a lateral direction, one end side of the lower link attaching pin is detachably supported to a transmission case, and the other end side thereof is detachably supported to the link support body.

2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an attaching portion of a rolling wheel support body is pinched by the pair of steel plate bodies, the rolling wheel support body rotatably pivoting rolling wheels for grounding the travel crawler.

3. The working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein a crawler guide body for preventing the travel crawler from being detached and pressing a core metal body is pinched by the pair of steel plate bodies.

4. The working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the driven wheel body is constructed by a pair of front and rear driven wheel bodies, and a base end portion of a retractable tension adjusting mechanism supporting the front driven wheel body is pinched by the pair of steel plate bodies.

5. The working vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein a base end portion of a pivot member pivoting the rear driven wheel body is pinched by the pair of steel plate bodies.

6. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary support shaft protrudes from the rear driven wheel body to the laterally center side, a lower end side of the rear link member is rotatably pivoted to the protruding portion, and the rear driven wheel body is supported in a cantilever manner.

7. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the front and rear link members are housed in a lateral width of the travel crawler in the half or more part of their shape as seen from a forward moving direction of the travel machine body.
