Abstract: A steering wheel for a motor vehicle, particularly for a tractor. The steering wheel has spokes which engage the steering wheel rim and are connected directly or indirectly with the steering shaft. A stationary plate is arranged in, and is axially and/or radially spaced from, the steering wheel rim. The plate preferably serves for receiving or mounting indicator instruments. A dish-shaped part with an acute flank angle is arranged between the steering wheel spokes and the steering shaft as a transfer member for the rotary movements serving for steering. The dish-shaped part tapers toward the steering shaft and is rotatably journalled on a stationary vehicle part and is rigidly connected with a gear which meshes directly or indirectly with a gear seated or located secure against rotation on the steering shaft. Furthermore, the dish-shaped part serves to receive a holder for the stationary plate as well as for the instruments arranged on its backside.
