Claim 10

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 2; and further comprising two machine axles, said receiving elements being formed as supporting plates, one of said supporting plates being located between said machine axles substantially centrally of said chassis and connected with the latter, the other of said supporting plates being laterally offset relative to said chassis and connected with one of said machine axles.

Claim 11

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 9, wherein said other supporting plate extends rearwardly outwardly beyond said chassis.

Claim 12

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 2, wherein, said supporting means includes at least two supporting plates each connected with a respective one of said receiving elements, said driver's cabin being alternately connectable with each of said supporting plates by said mounting means.

Claim 13

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 2, and further comprising means for moving one of said receiving elements relative to said chassis.

Claim 14

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 12, wherein said moving means includes a supporting tubular element which supports said one receiving element and has two telescopically movable tubular members, and a cylinder-and-piston unit displacing said tubular members relative to one another.

Claim 15

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 13, wherein said one receiving element includes a first elongated plate connected with one of said tubular members and provided with a guide, and a second plate displaceable along and guided by said first plate and provided with receiving pins.

Claim 16

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 13, wherein said tubular members have a four-cornered cross section.

Claim 17

A multiple-purpose agricultural machine, particularly a tractor, comprising a chassis; supporting means associated with said chassis; a driver's cabin movable relative to said chassis between at least two working positions spaced from one another; means for detachably mounting said driver's cabin on said supporting means; said driver's cabin having a frame; said supporting means including at least two supporting plates each provided with fixed receiving elements formed as conical pins, said frame of said driver's cabin being alternately connectable with each of said supporting plates by said mounting means to alternately couple said driver's cabin with said receiving elements in said working positions; said mounting means including a plurality of fitting pieces engageable with said conical pins of said supporting plates; means for locking said conical pins in each of said working positions; said conical pins and said fitting pieces being provided with slots; and said locking means including a plurality of locking members each insertable in respective ones of said slots.

Claim 18

A multiple-purpose agricultural machine, particularly a tractor, comprising a chassis; supporting means associated with said chassis; a driver's cabin movable relative to said chassis between at least two working positions spaced from one another; means for detachably mounting said driver's cabin on said supporting means; said driver's cabin having a frame; said supporting means including at least two supporting plates each provided with fixed receiving elements formed as conical pins, said frame of said driver's cabin being alternately connectable with each of said supporting plates by said mounting means to alternately couple said driver's cabin with said receiving elements in said working positions; said mounting means including a plurality of fitting pieces engageable with said conical pins of said supporting plates; means for locking said conical pins in each of said working positions; said conical pins and said fitting pieces being provided with slots; and said locking means including a plurality of locking members each insertable in respective ones of said slots.

Claim 19

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 16; and further comprising a linkage, said locking members being supported and held in said slots of said fitting pieces and also on said linkage.

Claim 20

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 17, wherein said driver's cabin has an angular lever, said linkage including a rod having an end portion with a pin which is in operative connection with said angular lever of said driver's cabin so as to act upon said linkage and said locking members thereby.

Claim 21

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 18, wherein said driver's cabin has a bracket on which said angular lever is mounted.

Claim 22

An agricultural machine as defined in claim 18; and further comprising means for displacing said driver's cabin between said working positions and including a cylinder-and-piston unit having a movable part provided with a supporting arm which carries gripper means engageable with said driver's cabin and has an abutment member, said angular lever having a first arm which is in operative connection with said pin of said rod of said linkage and a second arm pivotable under the action of said abutment member of said supporting arm.
