Abstract: A bearing housing for a drive shaft of a front-wheel vehicle comprises a bearing housing composed of a bearing bracket and a bearing cap. The bearing bracket is provided with a first peripheral flange only on one axial side thereof so that the bearing can be inserted in one axial direction until it abuts the flange. The bearing cap has a corresponding second peripheral flange on at least the opposite axial side so that the bearing is completely fixed in both axial directions when the cap is mounted to the bracket.

Abstract: Apparatus for attachment to and propulsion by a vehicle for the purpose of cutting vegetation, particularly shrubs and small trees. A plurality of generally planar, circular-toothed cutting members are supported on the underside of a housing and with each cutting member positioned in a generally horizontal plane with its forward edge extending forwardly of the housing. The cutting members are so arranged that their toothed cutting edges which extend forwardly of the housing jointly form an unbroken cutting line. The cutters are rotated in such a manner that those cutters which are disposed to the left side of a center line of the apparatus are rotated in a counterclockwise direction while those which lie to the right of the center line are rotated in a clockwise direction, thereby facilitating the conveying of the cut vegetation to either side of the apparatus and away from its center portion.
