Disposed in the housing are a hydraulic pump, which receives power from an engine, a hydraulic motor, which is driven by pressurized oil received from hydraulic pump and a center section, having a pump mounting surface parallel to a joint surface between the front housing and the rear housing. The axle is supported by the front housing below the hydraulic pump and a parking brake system for the axle driving unit is disposed above an expanded portion of the front housing, which contains the axle. The parking brake system is constructed so that a lock pin, supported by the housing, can be engaged with a lock member, fixed onto a motor shaft of the hydraulic motor.
