Abstract: A self-propelling snow removing machine includes a body frame extending rearwardly and upwardly with a steering handle attached to an upper end thereof, a snow removing mechanism operatively mounted on a front portion of the body frame, a running mechanism operatively mounted on a lower portion of the body frame, an engine mounted on the body frame and having an output shaft extending forwardly of the body frame, and a power transmitting mechansim supported on the body frame and operatively coupled to the engine, the power transmitting mechanism including a transmission for connecting the engine output shaft to the running mechanism and for connecting the engine output shaft to the snow removing mechanism. The engine has a cylinder with its axis inclined laterally of the body frame, the power transmitting mechanism is mounted on the body frame forwardly of the engine, and further includes a gear mechanism for coupling the engine output shaft to the transmission and a clutch.
