Abstract: A right side discharge mower mounted on a tractor having a rear, clockwise-turning power take off shaft is provided with a belt drive including a drive pulley on the power take off shaft, a pair of upper idlers above the drive pulley, a pair of lower idlers below the drive pulley and an endless belt entrained about the lower side of the drive pulley and having its advance and return runs extending upwardly around the upper idlers, downwardly rearward of the drive pulley to the lower idlers, and forwardly to loop around the clockwise-turning mower input pulley.
Abstract: A vehicle having a prime mover, a hydrostatic transmission transmitting power from the prime mover to ground engaging members on said vehicle, a power take-off arranged to be driven by said prime mover and clutch means for selectively engaging the power take-off with the prime mover. The vehicle also includes regulator means operable upon the transmission to maintain the power consumption of the transmission below a predetermined level, and compensating means operable upon the regulator means upon engagement of the clutch means to reduce the predetermined level of power consumption of the transmission.
Abstract: A system for obtaining mechanical power from a driven belt conveyor which services a remote area such as a coal mine where delivering electrical power is difficult and/or hazardous. The system includes apparatus selectively driven by the return flight of the mined material conveyor belt to provide mechanical driving power to an auxiliary device, such as a pump. A pair of driveable rollers are coupled together on the same side of the belt and a tensioning roller, for urging the conveyor belt into driving engagement with the driveable rollers, is adjustably positioned on the opposite side of the belt.
Abstract: A power take-off unit positionable in the drive line of an automobile or truck such that the unit is used to drive auxiliary equipment by a chain drive or V-belt and pulley attached to the power take-off shaft. The power take-off shaft has a gear engageable with a drive gear on the drive shaft of the power train. The drive shaft is engageable with a coupling which may be disengaged so that the power take-off shaft is capable of being turned without transmitting power to the wheels of the vehicle.
