In the engine device of the working vehicle having the first case which removes particulate matter in exhaust gas of an engine, and the second case which removes nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas of the engine, the first case is provided in an outer side of the engine room which is inward provided with the engine via a first case support body, and the second case is provided in the working portion which is adjacent to the engine room via a second case support body.

Claims (11)

1. An engine device of a combine harvester having a harvest storage tank positioned next to a work device for sorting/selecting harvest, a driver cabin positioned in front of the tank, and an engine room internally holding the engine, the engine room being positioned below the driver cabin, comprising:

a first case which removes particulate matter in exhaust gas of an engine and a second case which removes nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas of the engine,

wherein the first case is affixed via a first case support body to an engine frame comprising the engine room, and the first case is provided vertically between a front face of the tank and a back face of the driver cabin,

wherein the second case is supported transversely on an upper face of the work device which is adjacent to the tank,

wherein an exhaust gas inlet of the second case is connected to an exhaust gas outlet of the first case via a urea mixing pipe, and a tail pipe is connected to an exhaust gas outlet of the second case, and

wherein a bellows-shaped connection pipe is provided between the first case and the urea mixing pipe, and the urea mixing pipe, the second case and the tail pipe are connected linearly by supporting them each with a mixing pipe supporting body, a second case supporting body and a tail pipe supporting body mounted above an upper portion of the work device which is adjacent to the engine room.

2. The engine device of a combine harvester according to claim 1 ,

wherein the engine room frame is comprised of upright right and left support post bodies erected on the body of the combine harvester, and a horizontal frame connecting the right and left support post bodies, and

wherein the first case is connected to the horizontal frame midway its vertical dimension via the first case supporting body.
