A power take-off (PTO) unit takes-off power from a transmission for driving a first drive wheel of a vehicle and transmits the taken-off power to a second drive wheel of the vehicle. The PTO unit includes a PTO casing, a PTO shaft and a brake for braking the PTO shaft. The PTO casing is mounted on another casing incorporating the transmission. The PTO shaft is journaled by the PTO casing, drivingly connected to the transmission shaft of the transmission and drivingly connected to the second drive wheel. The brake is disposed in the PTO casing. The brake includes an unslidable pawl that is not slidable axially in the axial direction of the PTO shaft, and includes a slidable pawl that is slidable axially in the axial direction of the PTO shaft so as to selectively engage or disengage with and from the unslidable pawl.
