Self driven mower with left and right drive trains
A drive on an all wheel drive mower/slasher having on each side an assembly comprises appropriate brackets and fittings, axles, chains and tensioners where the worm gear output carries a forward direction spur gear and then extends to clutch. The clutch has an output gear and a forward chain travelling over a chain gear on reversible shaft, the reversible shaft is journaled in bearings. Chain gears and deliver drive to the wheel chain gears via respective chains. The spur gear is in mesh with a same sized gear so that when clutch 31 is disengaged and clutch engaged the wheels on one side are set forward. The brake clutches are disengaged. Chain and belt tensioners are provided in the usual way. The pulley has fan blades set above the pulley and the pulley has fan blades set below. Brakes are engaged on the turn side for skid steering.

COMPACT SPLIT TORQUE TRANSMISSION FOR WIDE OVERALL RATIO COVERAGE
An automobile vehicle split torque transmission includes an electrical motor having a rotor drive shaft with a drive pinion attached to the rotor drive shaft, the rotor drive shaft defining a first axis. A first transfer gear is mounted on a first transfer gear shaft defining a second axis, the first transfer gear meshed with the drive pinion. A second transfer gear is mounted on a second transfer gear shaft defining a third axis, the second transfer gear meshed with the drive pinion. A differential ring gear is supported on a differential shaft and rotates a differential assembly, the differential shaft defining a fourth axis.
TRANSMISSION AND ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE HAVING SAME
The disclosure relates to a transmission and all-terrain vehicle having the same. The transmission includes a casing body defining an air inlet and an air outlet; a casing cover mounted to the casing body, the casing cover and the casing body cooperatively defining a cavity in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet separately; and a transmission mechanism having at least a part provided in the cavity.
SIDE-BY-SIDE VEHICLE
The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.
UTILITY VEHICLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION POWERTRAIN MOUNTING
A utility vehicle automatic transmission powertrain mounting includes a front isolator under an internal combustion engine, a pair of mid isolators under an adapter plate between the internal combustion engine and an automatic transmission, and a rear isolator over the automatic transmission. Each of the isolators is on a frame member of a rear portion of an off road or recreational utility vehicle frame. The utility vehicle powertrain mounting may be used with multiple engine options on off road or recreational utility vehicles having powertrains behind the seats and under the cargo bed. The utility vehicle powertrain mounting provides easy access to service, repair or replace the transmission, and provides support and stability for the engine during transmission work.

TORQUE CONVERTER AND DRIVE UNIT
A torque converter disposed between a prime mover and an output shaft is disclosed. The torque converter includes a cover, an impeller, a turbine, and a first clutch. The impeller is unitarily rotated with the cover. The turbine is disposed opposite to the impeller. The first clutch is configured to allow and block transmitting power outputted from the prime mover to the cover.
Symmetric engine and transmission coupler
Systems, vehicles, and assemblies that include a prime mover, a transmission, and a coupler. The coupler couples the prime mover and the transmission. A preferred embodiment includes a system for forming a rigid body that includes a rotational prime mover and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly transmits at least a portion of the rotational energy from the prime mover to a driven member at a frequency. The system includes a first and a second bridging member. Coupling the first bridging member to the second bridging member forms a symmetric bridge or coupler. The symmetric bridge is symmetric about a first plane of symmetry. Furthermore, coupling a first portion of the bridge to the rotational prime mover and coupling a second portion of the bridge to the transmission assembly forms the rigid body. The rigid body further includes the bridge.
