  • both the left brake operation unit 40L and the right brake operation unit 40R when the brake pedal 41 is subjected to a stepping operation against the return spring 42 and enters the braking position ("on"), the operation shaft 43a of the master cylinder 43 is subjected to a sliding operation to a pushed-in side by the operation arm portion 41c.
  • the master cylinder 43 supplies operational hydraulic pressure to the brakes (not illustrated), and the brakes perform an operation of switching to a braking state.
  • the brake pedal 41 is subjected to an operation of returning to the initial position ("off") by the return spring 42, and the operation shaft 43a of the master cylinder 43 is subjected to a sliding operation to a pulled-out side by the operation arm 41c.
  • the imparting of the operational hydraulic pressure by the master cylinder 43 to the brakes is released, and the brakes perform an operation of switching to an initial state.
  • the return spring 42 is constituted by a torsion coil spring and is provided with a coil portion 42a, an arm portion 42b extending from one end side of the coil portion 42a, and an arm portion 42c extending from another end side of the coil portion 42a.
  • the coil portion 42a is fitted onto the support shaft 44, and the return spring 42 is supported by the support shaft 44.
  • the arm portion 42b on the one end side is engaged to the spring support portion 17d of the partition member 17.
  • the arm portion 42c on the other end side is engaged to the pedal arm portion 41a.
  • a bent end portion 42d engaged to the pedal arm portion 41a is provided to the arm portion 42c on the other end side.
  • a through hole 46 whereto the bent end portion 42d is engaged is provided to the pedal arm portion 41a.
  • a shape of the through hole 46 is made to be a shape into which the bent end portion 42d, which moves along the shaft core P of the support shaft 44, can be inserted.
  • the return spring 42 and the brake pedal 41 can be assembled by the following assembly outline.
  • the coil portion 42a fits the return spring 42 onto the support shaft 44, and the arm portion 42b on the one end side is placed in a state of being engaged to the partition member 17.
  • the return spring 42 is in a free state.
  • the stopper 47 is removed from the support portion 45.
  • the brake pedal 41 is attached to the support shaft 44 and swung up, and the brake pedal 41 is biased to oppose the support shaft, wherein the footboard portion 41b is positioned in a position higher than when the brake pedal 41 is positioned in the initial position ("off").
  • the brake pedal 41 in this disposition of opposing the support shaft is guided to the support shaft 44 and moved toward the return spring 42.
  • the bent end portion 42d of the return spring 42 moves toward the pedal arm portion 41a in a direction along the shaft core p of the support shaft 44, is inserted into the through hole 46 from an inner side of the pedal arm portion 41a, and moves to an outer side of the pedal arm portion 41a.
  • the brake pedal 41 is swung downward.
  • the operation arm portion 41c enters a slit 17e provided in the partition member 17.
  • the stopper 47 is attached to the support portion 45, and the brake pedal 41 is moved to the initial position ("off"). This causes the brake pedal 41 to be stopped by the stopper 47. As illustrated in FIG.
  • the bent end portion 42d engages to the pedal arm portion 41a, the return spring 42 is provided with an elastic restoring force, and the brake pedal 41 enters a state of being biased and swung to the initial position ("off") by the return spring 42.
  • the slit 17e is closed off once assembly of the brake pedal 41 is finished.
  • the steering wheel 11 is supported in a state of being able to change positions in the front-back direction and the up-down direction.
  • a steering-post cover 50 is inserted into a through hole 52 of a panel cover 51 supported on the traveling vehicle body 3.
  • the steering-post cover 50 follows the steering wheel 11 and swings in the front-back direction relative to the panel cover 51.
  • a bellows-shaped expandable cover 53 is connected across a proximal-side lower portion of the steering-post cover 50 and a lower portion 51a of the panel cover 51.
  • the expandable cover 53 expands and contracts according to the swinging of the steering-post cover 50 but, regardless of the swinging of the steering-post cover 50, places a gap between the steering-post cover 50 and the lower portion 51a of the panel cover 51 in a closed state. Between a part opposing a distal-side wall portion of the steering-post cover 50 of the panel cover 51 and the distal-side wall portion of the steering-post cover 50, a gap that allows the steering-post cover 50 to swing is provided. However, above the gap and on the distal-side wall portion of the steering-post cover 50, a bulging portion that bulges toward a cover outer side and makes the gap difficult to see from above is provided.
  • a face portion 51b corresponding to a side portion of the steering-post cover 50 is raised to the proximal side. Even if the steering-post cover 50 swings, the face portion 5 1b makes it difficult to see the gap between the steering-post cover 50 and the panel cover 51 on a horizontal side of the steering-post cover 50.
  • the present invention can be applied to a tractor provided with an engine bonnet forming an engine compartment.
