  • Patent number: 7484580
    Abstract: The present invention aims at making a transmission casing compact. In the present invention, in the inside of a transmission casing, a traveling-system power transmission mechanism which is interposed between an engine and an axel, a PTO-system power transmission mechanism which is interposed between the engine and a PTO shaft, and a changeover mechanism which is interposed between both power transmission mechanisms are provided, wherein the power transmission of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism is interrupted at a middle portion thereof by the changeover mechanism and, at the same time, the changeover mechanism is allowed to perform a changeover manipulation to connect a downstream side portion of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism and a downstream side portion of the traveling-system power transmission mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7325635
    Abstract: The present invention aims at a tractor which can easily perform an assembling operation and a maintenance operation of a PTO transmission mechanism. According to the present invention, a PTO casing which incorporates a PTO transmission mechanism therein is detachably mounted on a rear portion of a transmission casing and, at the same time, the PTO casing is mounted in a state that a front portion thereof is housed in the inside of the transmission casing. By mounting the PTO casing which incorporates the PTO transmission mechanism therein on the rear portion of the transmission casing in this manner, it is possible to easily perform the assembling operation and the maintenance operation of the PTO transmission mechanism. Further, by mounting the PTO casing in a state that the front portion thereof is housed in the inside of the transmission casing, it is possible to miniaturize the transmission casing (make the transmission casing compact).

  • Publication number: 20070069488
    Abstract: The present invention aims at allowing a tractor to easily set the creep transmission specification and the non-creep transmission specification. According to the present invention, in a tractor in which a transmission part is interlockingly connected with a prime mover part, and power is transmitted to a front wheel and a rear wheel from the transmission part thus enabling the traveling of the tractor, a creep transmission part is detachably interlockingly connected with the transmission part. By detachably mounting the creep transmission part to the transmission part in this manner, it is possible to easily set the creep transmission specification and the non-creep transmission specification.
