  By the way, in the prior art mentioned above, it has the structure which attaches the support member for supporting an exhaust-gas processing apparatus to an engine with a volt | bolt. That is, in the mounting portion of the support member, the vertical load of the exhaust gas treatment device applied via the support member is supported by the frictional force based on the fastening force of the bolt. On the other hand, an exhaust gas processing device provided with an exhaust gas purification device required to satisfy exhaust gas emission standards is heavier than an exhaust gas processing device provided with only a silencer (exhaust muffler).

  For this reason, in the prior art mentioned above, when the weight of the exhaust gas treatment device is increased, there is a possibility that the vertical load of the exhaust gas treatment device applied to the support member cannot be sufficiently supported. That is, the mounting strength (support strength, holding strength) of the support member with respect to the engine cannot be sufficiently ensured, and for example, the exhaust gas treatment device may be shaken with long-term use.

  In order to secure the mounting strength of the support member, it is conceivable to increase the size of the bolt or increase the number of bolts. However, if, for example, a structure is used in which a bolt for attaching the hydraulic pump to the engine is used and the support member is tightened together with the hydraulic pump, the number of bolts to be tightened can be increased or increased. There is a limit, and there is a possibility that sufficient mounting strength cannot be secured.
