Abstract
A drive device for a power working vehicle has a transmission case for a hydrostatic pressure type continuously variable transmission which includes a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, the case having a narrow portion and a wide portion with a step being formed on one side of the transmission case. The hydrostatic pressure type continuously variable transmission is mounted to the narrow portion, so that it is accommodated within the height of the step. A differential is provided at the wide portion for differentially operating left and right axles, and a reducing gear mechanism extends from the narrow portion to the wide portion for transmitting an output from the continuously variable transmission to the differential through a multi-stage reduction. Thus, the output from the continuously variable transmission can be transmitted to the left and right axles through a reduction at a plurality of stages, and the structure of the drive device for the power working vehicle may be made simpler and more compact.
