ABSTRACT:
A tractor having a driver's cab, an accessory compartment in the fender immediately adjacent the door to the driver's cab, the accessory compartment having a cover forming part of the fender and which projects below the edge of the cab door so that when the cab door is closed, it is impossible to raise the cover of the accessory compartment. In this way, when the door is locked, the accessory compartment is also automatically locked. The accessory compartment may hold a battery or tools or both. In the particular form shown, there is a battery compartment and tool compartments adjacent to the battery compartment. The invention is particularly applicable to the type of tractor which is sufficiently large that steps are required to reach the door of the driver's cab. In such case, the cover for the compartment may also include a downwardly extending part of the fender and one of the steps may be secured to this downwardly extending part. The inclusion of a downwardly extending part as part of the accessory cover makes it possible when the cover is raised to provide greater access to the battery and also makes it possible to provide an additional tool compartment beneath the battery.
