  • Patent number: 7047912
    Abstract: A work vehicle cooling system comprises a cooling fan (18) driven by the output from an engine (16), and a flow path for allowing an airflow (27) generated by the cooling fan (18) to be flown between the engine (16) and an operator's seat (14) without having passed through any of a radiator (20) and an oil cooler (21) for the engine (16). With this simple configuration, the heat generated by the engine (16) is prevented from being transmitted to the operator's seat (14).
