Abstract
Abstract An enclosed guard canopy for tractors comprises a supporting guard frame defining an operator''s cab having side openings. Sheet metal panels are hung in the openings by being secured to the guard members only. Resilient mountings mount the guard members on the tractor and flexible resilient sealing strips seal the space between the unattached lower margin of the panels and the top of the tractor. The operator in the cab thus is protected from vibration, noise and dirt and the cab structure is protected from working stresses.
