Abstract: A front rotary working machine has an engine and a transmission case of a power transmission mounted to a lower portion of the engine. The transmission case comprises a case body and a clutch case. An oil outlet is provided for discharging engine oil formed in the clutch case. An oil receiving portion has an outflow path and is formed in the clutch case and disposed directly below the oil outlet. A fastening boss is formed in the case body for fastening the case body to the clutch case so that an outer surface of the fastening boss is positioned substantially directly below and adjacent to an opening of the outflow path of the oil receiving portion. Rotary working portions are provided at a front portion of the transmission case.

Abstract: A walk-behind working machine has a traveling unit, a working unit, an engine, and an illumination section disposed forwardly of the engine for projecting light. A cover member collectively covers the engine and the illumination section. The cover member has a light transmitting section for transmitting therethrough light projected by the illumination section. The light transmitting section or a portion of the cover member near the light transmitting section has at least one through-hole through which heat generated by at least one of the engine and the illuminating section is radiated.

Abstract: A front rotary working machine is provided which includes an oil outlet for discharging engine oil formed in a transmission case. The engine oil discharged from the oil outlet flows through an outflow path formed in an oil receiving portion disposed directly below the oil outlet, down an outer surface of a fastening boss for forming the transmission case, and a head of a bolt located at a lower end of the boss, and drops downward.

Abstract: A snow removing machine which throws up snow collected by an auger with a blower and throws out the snow via a chute is provided. The chute is provided on a blower housing enclosing the blower. The chute is placed on the right or left of the blower housing in a body width direction, so as to receive snow thrown up by centrifugal force of the blower. In a dead space on the opposite side to the chute, a control unit for controlling rotations of electric motors and so on and a battery for supplying power to the electric motors are disposed.

Abstract: Illumination section is provided forwardly of an engine. Cover member collectively covers the engine and illumination section and includes a light transmitting section which passes therethrough light projected by the illumination section and has a through-hole for letting out hot air. Battery is positioned on a blower housing, and the illumination section is provided over the battery. Battery locking member for holding the battery in a battery holder is formed of an insulative resin material, and the illumination section is mounted on the locking member. The locking member is hinged at one end to the holder. Partition wall is provided between the engine and battery for blocking heat transferred from the engine toward the battery.

Abstract: A walk-behind cultivator has a body, at least one pair of first tine assemblies mounted on the body to undergo rotation about a rotational axis in a first direction of rotation, and at least one pair of second tine assemblies mounted to undergo rotation about the rotational axis in a second direction of rotation different from the first direction of rotation. Each of the first tine assemblies has first tines connected together along end portions thereof. Each of the second tine assemblies has second tines connected together along end portions thereof. The second tine assemblies are arranged in the same phase with respect to each other around the rotational axis.

Abstract: Front-rotary working machine employs a vertical engine having an output shaft projecting downward, and a transmission case, provided beneath the vertical engine, has a flat underside so as to extend generally parallel to the ground surface to be cultivated. Distance between left and right transporting wheels, connected to a driving shaft at a rear end portion of the transmission case, can be reduced as necessary. With these arrangements, it is possible to reduce the overall width of the front-rotary working machine.

Abstract: A front-rotary cultivator having a plurality of tillage tines provided at the front of a body and left and right driving wheels. The tillage tines include a plurality of forward-rotating tines arranged in the center of the body width and a plurality of reverse-rotating tines arranged transversely outward of the forward-rotating tines. The reverse-rotating tines are arranged in the same phase in a side view to simultaneously dig into the ground.

Abstract: A tiller for cultivating soil has a power source and a tilling shaft mounted for undergoing rotation by a driving force supplied from the power source. The tilling shaft has a hollow outer shaft and an inner shaft extending through the outer shaft. The inner shaft has a variable rotating speed and/or direction of rotation relative to the outer shaft. A power transmission mechanism transmits a driving force from the power source to the tilling shaft. The power transmission mechanism has a first power transmission system for transmitting the driving force from the power source to the outer shaft and a second power transmission system transmitting the driving force from the power source to the inner shaft. The second power transmission system has a hydrostatic transmission comprised of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor for effecting a stepless change of the rotating speed of the inner shaft as well as a selective change of its direction of rotation.

Abstract: A heat deflection system is provided for a lawn tractor which has an engine mounted on a chassis and enclosed within an engine enclosure. The engine enclosure has a top, sides and a front grille. The engine also includes a carburetor, an exhaust header and a muffler. The heat deflection system includes a heat shield having at least a portion thereof disposed between the exhaust header and carburetor, a partition having openings therein, wherein the openings extend above the muffler, such that the heated air from the muffler rises and passes through the openings, and the heat deflector extending above the partition for directing soak heat from the muffler away from the carburetor.
