Abstract
A self-propelling snow removing machine includes a body frame extending rearwardly and upwardly with a steering handle attached to an upper end thereof, a snow removing mechanism operatively mounted on a front portion of the body frame, a running mechanism operatively mounted on a lower portion of the body frame, an engine mounted on the body frame and having an output shaft extending forwardly of the body frame, and a power transmitting mechansim supported on the body frame and operatively coupled to the engine, the power transmitting mechanism including a transmission for connecting the engine output shaft to the running mechanism and for connecting the engine output shaft to the snow removing mechanism. The engine has a cylinder with its axis inclined laterally of the body frame, the power transmitting mechanism is mounted on the body frame forwardly of the engine, and further includes a gear mechanism for coupling the engine output shaft to the transmission and a clutch. A self-propelled snow removing machine includes a body frame, a snow removing mechansim operatively mounted on a front portion of the body frame, a running mechanism operatively mounted on a lower portion of the body frame, an engine mounted on the body frame, and a power transmitting mechanism supported on the body frame and operatively coupled to the engine, the power transmitting mechanism including a transmission for connecting the engine to the running mechanism and for connecting the engine to the snow removing mechanism. The power transmitting mechanism has a gear mechanism for coupling the engine to the transmission and a clutch. The power transmitting mechanism includes a transmission case housing the transmission therein and a clutch housing the clutch, the snow removing mechanism including implement covers attached to a front portion of the transmission case, while the transmission case, the clutch housing, and the implement covers are successively coupled together.
