Abstract

A work vehicle is disclosed that includes an elastic support mechanism for supporting an exhaust muffler. The elastic support mechanism includes a support platform member, elastic cylindrical members and a bar-shaped member. The support platform member is supported by a rear-linking frame bar to adjust a position of the support platform member along one of lateral and longitudinal directions of the body frame. An elastic cylindrical member is supported by one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. The elastic cylindrical member has an axis extending along the other of the lateral and longitudinal directions, and is supported at a single position, in a direction of the axis, of one of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler. A bar-shaped member supported by the other of the support platform member and the exhaust muffler is fitted into the elastic cylindrical member to be supported by the elastic cylindrical member.

Claims (18)

1. A brake system for a work vehicle, comprising:

a disc rotor rotatable in unison with a wheel support hub of the work vehicle;

a caliper for applying a braking force to both sides of the disc rotor; and

a cover body provided in an inner area of a vehicle body on a side of the disc rotor opposite to the wheel support hub, the cover body covering one of both sides of the disc rotor that faces the inner area and including a circumferential wall surface,

wherein the circumferential wall surface comprises a flared inclined plane portion extending toward a laterally outer area of the vehicle body.

2. The brake system according to claim 1 , wherein

the caliper is provided on a portion of an outer circumference of the disc rotor, and

the cover body is provided approximately all around the outer circumference of the disc rotor, except for a portion of the outer circumference on which the caliper is provided.

3. The brake system according to claim 1 , wherein

the caliper and the cover body are fixed to different locations on an axle support on which the wheel support hub is mounted.

4. The brake system according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential wall surface comprises a flange portion extending radially from an outer end of the flared inclined plane portion.

5. A brake system for a work vehicle, the brake system comprising:

a disc rotor rotatable in unison with a wheel support hub of the work vehicle;

a caliper for applying a braking force to both sides of the disc rotor; and

a cover body provided in an inner area of a vehicle body on a side of the disc rotor opposite to the wheel support hub, the cover body covering one of both sides of the disc rotor that faces the inner area,

wherein the cover body includes a vertical wall surface opposing said one of both sides of the disc rotor and a circumferential wall surface opposes an outer circumferential surface of the disc rotor,

wherein a circumferential length of the circumferential wall surface is formed shorter than a circumferential length of the outer circumference of the vertical wall surface, and

predetermined intervals are created circumferentially between circumferential edges of the circumferential wall surface and circumferential edges of the caliper.
