Abstract
The present invention includes a vehicle body frame. A cabin is mounted to the vehicle body frame so as to be isolated from vibration. A fuel tank is located below the cabin. The vehicle body frame includes a bracket extending laterally outward in a cantilever from at least one of a left side and a right side. The bracket includes: a cabin support portion carrying and supporting one front-back direction side of the cabin from below via a vibration isolation member; and a tank support portion supporting one front-back direction side of the fuel tank. The tank support portion is arranged at a position further toward an extended end than the cabin support portion of the bracket.
