  • Patent number: 9850973
    Abstract: A tractor, including: a link mechanism fixation-member which regulates rotation of the HST trunnion shaft by abutting the link mechanism; a link mechanism fixation-member operation lever which makes the link mechanism fixation-member about the link mechanism, or makes the link mechanism fixation-member move in a direction so as to get apart from the link mechanism; a brake pedal which is provided at the other side of the left-and-right sides of the step floor; and a link mechanism joining-cancellation mechanism which makes, in a case where the link mechanism fixation-member is abutting the link mechanism, the link mechanism fixation-member move in a direction so as to get apart from the link mechanism when stepping-on of the brake pedal is performed.
