Abstract
A frame is disposed between an engine and a transmission casing and is made of three sheet metal parts; an engine mounting part, a transmitting shaft covering part and a transmission casing mounting part. The transmitting shaft covering part consists of two laterally or vertically separable halves which join each other to form a barrel. One end of each half is fixed to the engine mounting part, while the other end is fixed to the transmission casing mounting part. Reinforcing members are disposed below a transmitting shaft housed in the transmitting shaft covering part. An expanded portion is disposed at the other end of the transmitting shaft covering part. An opening edge of the expanded portion is fixed to the transmission casing mounting part.
