A work machine includes a transmission case (5) extending in the front-back direction of a machine body, a first hydraulic unit (V) provided on one of mutually opposite wall portions (5a, 5b) of the transmission case (5), a second hydraulic unit (44) provided on a second one of the wall portions (5a, 5b), and a supply passage (43) configured to supply operating oil from the first hydraulic unit (V) to the second hydraulic unit (44). The first hydraulic unit (V) and the second hydraulic unit (44) are aligned to be overlapped with each other as viewed in a direction orthogonal to a case axis (X) extending along the front-back direction of the transmission case (5). The supply passage (43) extends inside the transmission case (5) in a straight line orthogonal to the case axis (X).

A transmission combination includes a hydrostatic transmission and a mechanical transmission having a clutch and a control device for calibrating a grinding point of the clutch. A traction drive includes the transmission combination. A method includes calibrating the clutch.

An HST control mechanism includes a rotary member, a servo unit, a telescopic member, and a biasing device. The rotary member for controlling a displacement of a hydrostatic transmission (HST) is pivoted outside of a casing incorporating the HST. The servo unit includes a telescopically movable actuator and a valve controlling the telescopic movement of the actuator. The actuator is interlockingly connected to the rotary member. The servo unit is pivotally supported on the casing via a first pivot. The servo unit rotates centered on the first pivot as the rotary member rotates according to the telescopic movement of the actuator hydraulically controlled by the valve. The telescopic member is pivotally supported on the casing via a second pivot. The telescopic member is provided with the biasing device that biases the telescopic member and the rotary member toward a position corresponding to a neutral state of the HST.

A vehicle mounted hydraulic pump assembly includes a gearbox that is configured to be connected to a power take-off that is driven by a transmission of a four-wheel drive vehicle. The gearbox includes an input gear and an output gear where a radius of the input gear is the same as a radius of an output gear. A female output connector is associated with the output gear and is configured to be disposed below a forward driveshaft that is associated with the transmission. A hydraulic pump is connected to the gearbox and is configured to be disposed forward of a transfer case that is also associated with the transmission.
