Abstract: A door latch for a cab whereby a door is held in the open position by the latch which is operative by a handle passing through the cab having linear motion to operate a pawl having pivotal motion for engaging a detent on the door. Further, the handle mounting is a compact one with biasing means and a seal thereon all enclosed within a segment of the cab wall.

Abstract: A latching arrangement for complemental top and bottom door panels on a cab of a tractor includes a handle which is pivotally mounted to the top door panel between operative and inoperative positions. Biasing means in the form of a coil spring mounted between the handle member and the door normally urges the member to its inoperative position. An element connected to the lower door panel and defining a recess to receive the handle member operates to position the upper door in angular relationship to the complemental lower door member to ventilate the cab. A peripheral portion of the handle which is received in the connecting element is disposed at an angle relative to the axis about which the handle pivots to thereby define the angle at which the complemental door panels are held apart.
