PURPOSE: To prevent the damage of a body by externally extending a fender section from both right and left upper ends of a frame as an integral part thereof.
CONSTITUTION: Fenders 15 and 15 forming the same plane as the fender sections 14 and 14 of a frame 3, are fixed to both right and left sides of a transmission casing 5 with bolts or the like, for covering the upper surface of crawlers 8 and 8 approximately over the overall length thereof. Then, an upper panel 12a is fitted to upper frames 19 and 19, and the panel 12a is engaged with the fenders 14 and 14, and 15 and 15 with side plates 13 and 13, and secured with bolts or the like at suitable positions, thereby completing the mounting of a body panel 12. According to the aforesaid construction, the ingress of sand or the like splashed with the crawlers 8 or the like can be prevented by concealing the inside of the frame 3.
