Abstract
In a farm tractor of four wheel drive type, a speed change device for a power takeoff shaft projecting from a rear portion of a transmission case for driving a work implement attached to the rear end of the tractor is mounted in the rear portion of the transmission case, and a main shaft to receive output of the engine, a pinion shaft for driving the rear wheels and a transmission shaft for driving the front wheels are mounted in the front half of the transmission case with minimum spacing between the three shafts. This arrangement permits the transmission case to be compact in the vertical as well as transverse directions and provides a large space in the tractor underbelly for attaching a work implement.
