in a horizontal face.
The right side in a state where the front-and-
rear direction front side is viewed is said to be
the vehicle width direction right side, and the left
side in a state where the front-and-rear direction
front side is viewed is said to be the vehicle width
direction left side.
The vertical direction is the direction which is
orthogonal to the front-and-rear direction and the
vehicle width direction.
Therefore, the front-and-rear direction, the
vehicle width direction and the vertical direction
are orthogonal to each other.

Next, mainly referring to FIGS. 6-11,
descriptions are still more specifically given
regarding the configuration and action of the
tractor of the present embodiment.
Here, FIGS. 6-11 are schematic partial enlarged
perspective views (Nos. 1-6) of a neighborhood of
the pre-fuel filter 6100 and the main fuel filter
6200 of the tractor of the embodiment in the present
invention.
Note that with respect to FIGS. 6, 8 and 10, the
fuel filter cover 6300 is attached but that with
respect to FIGS. 7, 9 and 11, the fuel filter cover
6300 is detached.
And, with respect to FIGS. 6 and 7 the

frontward downside of the tractor of the present
embodiment.
The right side step 3000 is, via the vehicle
side attaching frame 1100, attached to the frame
body a which configures the cabin 1010.
More specifically, the right side step 3000 is
joined to the vehicle side attaching frame 1100 with
the welding parts 3001 and 3002 used.
And, the vehicle side attaching frame 1100 is
fixed with the bolts d to the frame body a which is
a frame of the right side of the operating seat
floor 2100.
Additionally, the vehicle side attaching frame
1100 is an example of the vehicle side attaching
frame of the present invention.
In addition, the cabin 1010 is an example of the
cabin of the present invention. In addition, the
frame body a is an example of the frame body of the
present invention.
The pre-fuel filter 6100 is attached to the
right side step 3000.
More specifically, the pre-fuel filter 6100 is
joined to the right side step 3000 with the bolt
6101 and the bolt hole 3005, into which this is
screwed, used.
It is desirable that the main fuel filter 6200
be attached, directly or indirectly, to at least one
of the vehicle side attaching frame 1100 and the
right side step 3000.
In the present embodiment, the main fuel filter
6200 is attached to the fuel filter cover holding
frame 6210 which is attached to the vehicle side
attaching frame 1100.
Since, by attaching/detaching the vehicle side
attaching frame 1100 to/from the frame body a, the
right side step 3000, the pre-fuel filter 6100, the
main fuel filter 6200 and the fuel filter cover
holding frame 6210 can be integrally attached to or
detached from the vehicle main body 1000, the
maintenance becomes easy.
And, the fuel filter cover 6300 is attached to
the fuel filter cover holding frame 6210.
More specifically, the upside of the fuel filter
cover holding frame 6210 is joined to the vehicle
side attaching frame 1100 with the welding part 6211
used, and the downside of the fuel filter cover
holding frame 6210 is joined also to the right side
step 3000 with the welding part 6212 used as well.
Further, the front side of the fuel filter cover
6300 is joined to the fuel filter cover holding
6302 and 6303, and
frame 6210 with the bolts 6301,
the bolt holes 6213, 6214 and 6215, into which these
are screwed, used, and the rear side of the fuel
filter cover 6300 is joined also to the right side
step 3000 with the bolts 6304 and 6305, and the bolt
holes 3003 and 3004, into which these are screwed,
used as well.
Furthermore, the fuel filter cover 6300
possesses the fuel filter cover lower part plate
6320 which can be allowed, by unfastening the
butterfly nuts 6321 and 6322, to slide with respect
to the left-and-right direction that is shown by the
bidirectional arrow Y.
In case a configuration is adopted in which the
fuel filter cover lower part plate 6320 that can be
allowed to slide is provided, the maintenance of the
pre-fuel filter 6100 and the main fuel filter 6200
is easily implemented, and the convenience can be
improved.
Additionally, the fuel filter cover 6300 is an
example of the cover of the present invention.
In addition, the fuel filter cover holding frame
6210 is an example of the cover holding frame of the
present invention.
In the above, detailed descriptions have been
given regarding the configuration and action of the
tractor of the present embodiment.
Now, if the one or more fuel filters (the pre-
fuel filter 6100 and the main fuel filter 6200) are
arranged at a front side of the right side substep
(the right side step 3000) as described above, with
vacant space being exploited, the plural fuel
filters become able to be attached.
However, the size of the vacant space like that
is limited.
Hereupon, the present inventors consider that.
in order to amply exploit the vacant space, it is
necessary to further push on with the reduction of
the number of components in the configuration of the
neighborhood of the pre-fuel filter 6100 and the
main fuel filter 6200.
Hereupon, in what follows, specific descriptions
are given regarding the reduction of the number of
components in the configuration of the neighborhood
of the pre-fuel filter 6100 and the main fuel filter
6200.
(1) A configuration is considered in which a
filter stay for joining, with the bolt 6101 and the
bolt hole 3005, into which this is screwed, used,
the pre-fuel filter 6100 to the right side step 3000
is provided integrally with the right side step 3000.
For example, bolt holes into which bolts for
attaching the filter stay to the right side step
3000 are screwed may be,
in such a way that the
position of the pre-fuel filter 6100 can be adjusted
with respect to the up-and-down direction which is
shown by the bidirectional arrow Z, provided at two
or more spots of the right side step 3000 regarding
the up-and-down direction.
Of course, it goes without saying that,
corresponding to this, bolt holes into which bolts
for attaching the main fuel filter 6200 to a plate
are screwed may be provided at two or more spots of
the plate regarding the up-and-down direction, in
such a way that the position of the main fuel filter
6200 can be adjusted with respect to the up-and-down
direction, with the size of the plate for attaching
the main fuel filter 6200 to the fuel filter cover
holding frame 6210 which is joined to the vehicle
side attaching frame 1100 with the welding part 6211
used being allowed to be larger with respect to the
up-and-down direction.
Then, for example, since by adjusting the
attaching positions of the pre-fuel filter 6100 and
the main fuel filter 6200 the heights of these can
be changed, the raising amount of the mower deck
which is installed between the front wheels and the
rear wheels becomes able to be sufficiently ensured.
(2) A configuration is considered in which the
fuel filter cover 6300 is provided integrally with
the right side step 3000.
For example, the fuel filter cover 6300 may be
configured so as to be divided into the fuel filter
cover lower part plate 6320 and a base part as a
filter bracket which is integrated with the right
side step 3000, in such a way that the fuel filter
cover lower part plate 6320 can be allowed, by
unfastening the butterfly nuts 6321 and 6322, to
slide with respect to the left-and-right direction
which is shown by the bidirectional arrow Y.
Then, for example, since the fuel filter cover
lower part plate 6320 can be allowed to slide and
detached even if the base part is integrated with
the right side step 3000, the maintenance of the
pre-fuel filter 6100 and the main fuel filter 6200
becomes able to be implemented with ease through the
opening part of the downside, as being described
above.
Of course, it goes without saying that at the
base part, the front loader oil pressure hose
attaching part 6310 and so forth may be provided.
A vehicle in the present invention is able to
realize attachment of one or more fuel filters to a
location other than the engine, and is useful for an
objective of utilization as a work vehicle and so
forth like a vehicle for agriculture such as a
tractor and so forth.
