Abstract
The invention includes a working vehicle having a prime mover for horizontally outputting power to an axle driving system housing a transmission and a vertically projecting speed change input shaft. A gear box is detachably disposed at an upper portion of a housing of the axle driving system for transmitting power from the engine into the axle driving system. The gear box has an input shaft horizontally projecting therefrom and bevel gears such that the power transmitted horizontally from the engine changes direction in the gear box so that the power can be transmitted to the vertically disposed speed change input shaft of the transmission, which, in turn, drive the axles of the vehicle.
