Abstract
A drive assembly () for a walk-behind, powered device operably couples an engine () of the powered device to a mobility assembly () to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine (). The drive assembly () includes a transmission shaft and a mechanical power reversing assembly (). The transmission shaft selectively receives first drive power or second drive power coupled from the engine () to drive a first drivable component () and a second drivable component () of the mobility assembly (). The first and second drivable components () are disposed substantially at opposing sides of the powered device. The mechanical power reversing assembly () is selectively engagable to convert the first drive power generated for the first drivable component () into the second drive power provided to the second drivable component () and vice versa.
