ABSTRACT:
A skid steer loader is disclosed with an operator's seat that is movable between a lowered operative position and an elevated inoperative position to facilitate the access to drive components located beneath the seat. The seat includes a latch mechanism that detachably fixes the operator's seat to the loader frame and a prop rod slidable within a bayonet slot formed in the loader frame to move into a restraining position whenever the operator's seat is moved into the elevated inoperative position. The movement of the prop rod into the restraining position of the bayonet slot requires a positive movement of the prop rod out of the restraining position to enable the seat to be returned to the lowered operative position to be latched against the frame. The seat is hinged to the loader frame to allow the movement thereof between the operative and inoperative positions.
