A developing device may include an auger or an agitator that is capable of supplying toner in a toner accommodation chamber to a developing chamber and is rotatable about an auger axis extending in an axial direction, a transporting gear that is rotatable together with the auger or the agitator, and a moving gear that is in mesh with a coupling gear and is rotatable both counterclockwise and clockwise. The moving gear is movable while being in mesh with the coupling gear between a first position where the moving gear is in mesh with the transporting gear and a second position where the moving gear is out of mesh with the transporting gear. The moving gear moves to the first position when the coupling gear rotates counterclockwise and to the second position when the coupling gear rotates clockwise.

A motorized vehicle has an engine operable to drive the motorized vehicle in a forward direction, a starter motor having an output shaft extending between a first end and a second end, the first end selectively engageable with the engine to start the engine, and a transmission having a main shaft with a main shaft gear and an output drive wheel. A reverse drive assembly includes an input and an output. The input is in constant mesh with the second end of the starter motor. The output is selectively engageable with the main shaft gear of the transmission to drive the motorized vehicle in a reverse direction.

A method of operating a motorized vehicle including an engine, a transmission, and a reverse drive assembly. The method includes moving a pivot carrier of the reverse drive assembly from a disengaged position to an engaged position. A starter motor is operated to rotate a motor shaft. A reverse drive gear train is driven using the motor shaft, including driving an output gear mounted on the pivot carrier to rotate. The transmission is driven in reverse via the rotation of the output gear.
