Abstract: A working vehicle includes a vehicle body supported by a plurality of wheels; an implement supported by the vehicle body via a link mechanism such that the implement can be raised and lowered, the implement being permitted to be lowered under its own weight; an abutting member that moves in tandem with the raising and lowering movement of the implement; a receiving piece for limiting the lowering of the implement under its own weight by receiving a first portion of the abutting member; and a manually operable first operating piece for changing the position of the receiving piece between a receiving position and a retracted position, wherein a lowering limiting position is set to a vertical position that is closer to the upper limit of a range of the raising or lowering movement of the implement than to the lower limit of that range.

Abstract: A control linkage is provided suitable for use on a swather. The linkage includes a housing, a hand lever pivotally coupled to the housing for angular movement about a first axis, and means adapted to pivotally mount the housing at a location for convenient use by an operator and for movement about a second axis perpendicular to the front axis. The hand lever includes a bracket having an attachment portion spaced transversely of the first axis in a direction lying generally along a second axis and a crank is attached to the housing and extends outwardly for arcuate movement when the hand lever is moved about the second axis.
