Abstract
An oil tank of large capacity is integrally mounted directly to a front side of a front case cover in a power unit including a hydrostatic type continuously variable transmission. The power unit is driven by a crankshaft within a crankcase, and a lower portion of the oil tank is connected through an inlet and an outlet both formed in the front case cover to an oil pump disposed inside the front case cover in order to dispense with piping and fittings required when a tank is located separately from a power unit.
