A lawn mower comprises a vehicle body, a cutting unit mounted below the vehicle body, a grass catcher mounted rearwardly of the vehicle body, and a discharge duct extending between the cutting unit and the catcher for transmitting grass clippings from the cutting unit to the catcher. The catcher defines an opening at which a lid member is removably mounted, the lid member includes a coupler opening for coupling to a discharge opening of the discharge duct and an air vent around the coupler opening. The catcher is switchable between a sideways turned posture in which the coupler opening is coupled to the discharge opening and an upright posture in which the coupler opening is directed upwardly.

A drive transmission structure for a tractor comprising a belt drive system for transmitting power from an engine output shaft to a transmission having a brake mechanism. The belt drive system includes a belt type stepless change speed mechanism having a split pulley assembly and a swing device for swinging the split pulley assembly toward the engine output shaft and the transmission, a first belt for transmitting the power from the engine output shaft to the split pulley assembly, and a second belt for transmitting the power from the split pulley assembly to the transmission. The pulley assembly defines two split pulley sections for engaging the first and second belts, respectively. A control device is provided to change power transmission ratios by actuating the swing device. Further, a tension pulley type clutch mechanism is provided to act on the first belt or the second belt. The brake mechanism and the tension pulley type clutch mechanism are controlled by the clutch and brake control mechanism.

Drive transmission structure for tractor

A running apparatus for an agricultural vehicle comprising an oil stepless change speed device, an oil circuit for an oil pump and an oil motor to actuate the oil stepless change speed device and an accumulator. The accumulator accumulates a surplus of an output pressure of the oil pump when the pressure is higher than a predetermined value and discharges the accumulated pressure when the output pressure of the oil pump is lower than the predetermined value.

Running apparatus for an agricultural vehicle

A tractor for agriculture comprising an engine, a hydraulic stepless speed change mechanism having an output shaft, an input shaft connecting the engine with the hydraulic stepless speed change mechanism and having an extended portion, a PTO shaft connected in association with the extended portion, a running device, a transmission shaft connected in association with the output shaft, and a transmission change mechanism disposed at an intermediate portion of the transmission shaft, said transmission change mechanism being connectable and disconnectable of power transmission from the output shaft to the running device and capable of power transmission from the extended portion to the running device when said power transmission from the output shaft to the running device is cut. The tractor may be running even if the hydraulic stepless speed change mechanism is in trouble.

Tractor for agriculture

An agricultural tractor transmission to which various attachments may be removably affixed as necessary. Such attachments include a super reduction device and a pump for actuating a work implement.

Transmission for agricultural tractor

A power transmission system for a tractor comprising a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor to be driven by the oil forced out from the pump, a PTO transmission mechanism coupled to the shaft of the hydraulic pump and a wheel transmission mechanism coupled to the output shaft of the hydraulic motor. The power from an engine is transmitted to the PTO transmission mechanism by way of the pump shaft before being delivered to the wheel transmission mechanism.

Power transmission system for tractor

A device for tightening an endless element which is trained over driving members and which is accommodated in a drive transmission housing. A regulation member is provided outside the housing for easy adjustment of the tautness or tension of the endless element.
