ABSTRACT:
In a tractor having front and rear pairs of wheels and an engine mounted over one of said pairs of wheels, the engine, said one pair of wheels, and implement hitch fittings comprise one module. The rest of the vehicle, including an operator's seat and steering wheel, comprises another module, connected with the first module by resilient vibration absorbing elements. In the first module the engine is rigidly mounted on a subframe to which the resilient elements are connected. The subframe and an axle for said pair of wheels can tilt relative to one another about a fore-and-aft extending axis, but such tilting is frictionally retarded to dampen vibratory engine movements about said axis.
