A skid steer loader has an operator's cab mounted thereon pivoting about a horizontal
pivot adjacent a forward edge of the frame of the loader and at the forward edge
of the operator's cab. In a working position the cab overlies a portion of the
frame that has operating components therein, and the cab can be pivoted to raise
the rear of the cab to pivot it forwardly to an open position to permit access
to components beneath the cab when its in its working position. The cab has positive
latches for holding it in its working position, and an automatic stop to hold it
in its open position. The latches are operated by levers on the back wall of the
cab that are moved between a latched and unlatched position, and when they are
in their unlatched position, a cover for the engine components cannot be closed.
