A conduit for heating the open cab of a tracked vehicle, such as a bulldozer, is formed by cutting a hole in the floor. Heated air flowing across the radiator then is propelled by the fan to pass between the two endless tracks, and enters the operator\s compartment. Hinged doors are preferably placed over the opening, thereby covering the same when heating is not required. A filter is placed in the airflow to stop airborne dust. The novel arrangement requires vehicles having, in addition to the usual engine, radiator, and fan, an enclosed engine, including a fire wall or a dashboard panel, and an operator\s compartment having a floor. The airway thus employed is protected by preexisting vehicle components, and relatively delicate external air deflectors and conduits prevalent in prior art devices are rendered unnecessary. The fan is adjusted to force air backwardly, for heating in the winter, and forwardly, for ventilating in the summer.

In a tracked vehicle having endless tracks, an operator\s compartment, an engine surrounded by an enclosure, a firewall, an idle space existing behind the engine and between the tracks, an operator\s compartment floor, a radiator, and a radiator fan, said enclosure, said firewall, said operator\s compartment floor, and said idle space defining a single continuous enclosed space, the improvement comprising: means defining an opening in the operator\s compartment floor, said opening being in direct communication with the enclosed space, whereby air, heated by the radiator and the engine, within said enclosed space is forced through said opening and into the operator\s compartment; a closure member pivotally attached to the operator\s compartment floor at said opening, said closure member selectively movable to a fully open position, a closed position, and to any position therebetween; and a support member disposed below said closure member, enabling said closure member to rest thereon when in the closed position.
