A working machine includes a working arm, the arm in use, carrying a
working implement, the arm being raisable and lowerable about a generally
horizontal axis by a power operated device, a cab structure for an
operator, an engine for providing power to a ground engaging drive
structure to drive the machine over the ground and for operating the
working arm, each of the working arm, the cab structure and the engine
being mounted on a machine chassis, and the machine being characterized
in that the chassis includes a single primary chassis member which
provides a substantial resistance to torsional deformation of the machine
between the front and rear ends of the machine, the single primary
chassis member including a first part which extends longitudinally of the
machine at the one side of the machine, and a second part which extends
transversely of the first part at or towards one end of the machine.
