Abstract: A U-shaped multi-purpose uni-body digging service vehicle particularly adapted for transport and hauling comprising: a U-shaped frame having opposing sides and front ends connected by a front piece, and rear ends defining an open interior space in communcation with an open front end; an open top earthmover digging and carrying module structured to fit within and mounted within the interior of the opening of the U-shaped frame to carry loads, wheel mounts capable of pivoting attached to the opposing sides; a plurality of wheels independently suspended and rotatably attached to the wheel mounts; pivot means associated with the wheel mounts to pivot and turn each wheel in a desired direction; independent drive means associated with each wheel to rotate said wheels forward and backward; a power source operably associated with the pivot means and independent drive means; and control means mounted to the frame and associated with the drive means, pivot means, and power source to selectively activate the drive means

Abstract: The invention is a variable speed transmission for adjusting the output of a drive shaft. It comprises a journal mounted rotatable casing with an internal cyclical periodic track selectively pushed by a plurality of reciprocating push rods activated by a variably extendable cam mounted to a drive shaft. The torque ratios are directly proportional to the degree the push rods are extended by the extendable cam.
