Work Vehicle
First Claim
1. A work vehicle comprising a pair of right and left vehicle frames that extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction so that plate surface thereof face each other in a state of being substantially aligned in the vertical direction, a front axle unit that is supported by the pair of vehicle frames so as to be located below the pair of vehicle frames and be along a vehicle width direction in a state where two ends thereof are positioned outward of the pair of vehicle, frames in the vehicle width direction, a pair of right and left front wheels that are supported by both ends of the front axle unit in a steerable manner, an engine unit that is supported by the pair of vehicle frames, a flywheel unit that is connected to a rear end surface of the engine unit, and a transmission that is disposed backward at a distance from the flywheel unit and operatively receives rotational power from the engine unit through the flywheel unit, the pair of vehicle frames including a pair of right and left front frames that support the front axle unit, and a pair of right and left main frames that have rear ends directly or indirectly connected to side surfaces of a transmission case of the transmission, respectively,wherein an outer surface of a rear end of each of the pair of front frames is connected to an inner surface of a front end of the corresponding one of the main frames with a spacer being interposed therebetween.

Abstract
An outer surface of a rear end of each of a pair of front frames is connected to an inner surface of a front end of the corresponding one of a pair of main frames with a spacer being interposed therebetween. Accordingly, a spacing width between the pair of front frames can be defined freely and independently of a spacing width of the pair of main frames, so that maximum steerable angles of front wheels can be increased as much as possible without increasing a mounting pitch of the pair of front wheels. Preferably, the pair of front frames are arranged such that at least upper regions in rear end surfaces thereof are located forward of the mount flange, and the engine unit and the flywheel unit are supported by the vehicle frames such that at least lower portions thereof are overlapped with the vehicle frames in a side view and the mount flange is overlapped with the upper regions in the rear end surfaces of the front frames in a front view.
