Abstract
A power delivering apparatus employs a viscous coupling for limiting differential action performed by a front differential of an engine-powered vehicle. In the power delivering apparatus, since at least one of rotary members of the viscous coupling is directly supported by a stationary support member of the body of the vehicle, it is possible to support the viscous coupling of the power delivering apparatus in a firmer manner than in the prior art, thereby permitting the power delivering apparatus to remarkably reduce both of vibration and noise.
