PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve maneuverability of an airframe by an operation arm in a paddy field work machine. SOLUTION: A non-use posture B1 standing up at the front part of the airframe and a use posture B2 extending from the front part of the airframe to the front side are provided with an operation arm 53 supported by the front part of the airframe so that the posture can be changed. .. A straight-ahead holding linkage mechanism 73 is provided for transmitting a change in posture of the operation arm 53 from the non-use posture B1 to the use posture B2 to the holding portion 68 and holding the steering member 36 at the straight-ahead position of the front wheels by the holding portion 68. .. A diff lock interlocking mechanism 85 is provided, which transmits a change in the posture of the operation arm 53 from the non-use posture B1 to the use posture B2 to the diff lock portion 75, and operates the front wheel diff mechanism 50 in the diff lock state by the diff lock portion 75.
