ABSTRACT:
An improved cab for a cab-over-engine configured tractor has a driver's seat mounted to a floor of the cab wherein the floor is substantially flat. The tractor includes a frame for supporting the cab. An engine is mounted to the frame substantially beneath the cab, yet rearward of the floor so that the floor may be substantially flat. Auxiliary devices such as the radiator, radiator fan, and alternator are mounted to the frame remote from the engine and powered by a drive train that extends from the auxiliary devices to the engine.
