According to the invention, a lining (34) is used which laterally covers a space (31) between a control rod (26) and an arm (6) of the front loader (1). The panel (34) is formed separately from the control rod (26) and made for example of plastic. The fairing (34) is connected with a longitudinal degree of freedom with a reversing lever (11) or a tractor-coupling device (2) such that elastic deformations of the control rod (26) do not lead to a loading of the lining (34), so that the Cladding (34) is not part of the support structure for holding and moving the tool held on the front loader (1).
