ABSTRACT:
A locking device for a rotatable operator's station for use on a hydrostatically driven tractor is disclosed wherein the locking device includes a spring-loaded pin connected to a flexible cable interconnected with a pivotable steering mechanism. The locking device is released by a pivotal movement of the steering mechanism beyond a normal range of tilting movement to an actuation position in which the overall length of the operator's station is minimized to facilitate the rotation thereof within the narrow confines of a cab enclosure. A pair of latching devices are provided to control the normal tilt movement of the steering mechanism and, respectively, to allow the steering mechanism to move beyond the normal range of tilting movement into the actuation position. Both latching devices must be released to move the steering mechanism to an actuation position to release the locking device and permit rotative movement of the operator's station.
