Zusammenfassung:An integrated fan and axle arrangement for an agricultural machine (10) having a an impeller (74) includes a front axle assembly (16a) and a fan housing (78). The front axle assembly (16a) supports one or more front wheels (12) of the agricultural vehicle. The impeller (74) rotates within the fan housing (78) to provide an air flow within the agricultural vehicle. A laterally extending portion (82, 110) of the fan housing (78) may form part of the front axle assembly (16a), such that the laterally extending portion (82, 110) of the fan housing (78) may provide structural rigidity to the front axle assembly (16a) for the support of the one or more front wheels (12).
