Abstract
A power take-off casing ( ) including therein a rear-PTO shaft ( ) and a transmission mechanism ( ) therefor is mounted on an outer surface of a rear wall ( ) of the transmission casing ( ) disposed between left and right rear wheels ( ) which constitute drive wheels for a working vehicle, and a gear ( ) constituting an input member of the transmission mechanism is operatively connected to a drive mechanism ( ) for a mid-PTO shaft ( ) which extends forwardly from the inside of transmission casing through a front wall ( ) thereof. A clutch ( ) for selectively cutting-off the drive of the rear-PTO shaft is provided preferably such that it couples the gear selectively to a drive gear ( ) which is rotatably mounted on the mid-PTO shaft. In a working vehicle in which a transmission casing is disposed between left and right front wheels constituting the drive wheels for the vehicle, a power take-off casing having a front-PTO shaft is mounted on an outer surface of a front wall of the transmission casing.
