Transmission disconnection by wheel rotation for walk-behind machine
A walk-behind machine includes a clutch having a driving state where a motor drives wheels to rotate and an unlocked state where the wheels freely rotate relative to the motor. The clutch includes a movable member and a driving member. The movable member is capable of moving between a locked position where the clutch is in the driving state and an unlocked position where the clutch is in the unlocked state. The driving member transfers power to the wheels by means of friction. When the clutch is in the driving state, the motor drives the wheels to rotate in a first direction, when the motor stops rotating, the wheels rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction and can drive the driving member to move by frictional force so that the driving member pushes the movable member to move from the locked position to the unlocked position.

Combine
Provided is a combine with a speed-change power transmission apparatus including: a hydraulic static continuously variable transmission unit that receives an input of drive force from an engine, and subjects the drive force to speed change; and a planetary power transmission unit that combines the drive force from the engine and an output from the continuously variable transmission unit and outputs a combined drive force to a travelling apparatus, wherein a power transmission case can be made lighter at low cost. In this combine, a continuously variable transmission case portion of a power transmission case, which houses a continuously variable transmission unit, is formed integrally with a planetary power transmission case portion of the power transmission case, which houses a planetary power transmission unit. A partition that separates a continuously variable transmission compartment of the continuously variable transmission case portion and a planetary power transmission compartment of the planetary power transmission case portion from each other is provided within the power transmission case, the continuously variable transmission compartment housing the continuously variable transmission unit, and the planetary power transmission compartment housing the planetary power transmission unit.

Pulley assembly for an agricultural harvester
A pulley assembly is provided for mounting on a rotatable shaft of an agricultural harvester and is operable in a high-speed configuration or a low-speed configuration. The pulley assembly comprises a high-speed pulley with a high-speed running surface for receiving a drive belt when the pulley assembly is in the high-speed configuration and a low-speed pulley with a low-speed running surface for receiving a drive belt when the pulley assembly is in the low-speed configuration. The pulley assembly has three sets of teeth extending from surfaces of the two pulleys. In the low-speed configuration, the running surfaces of the low-speed pulley and high-speed pulley are axially aligned and the first set of teeth and the second set of teeth are engaged. In the high-speed configuration, the running surface of the high-speed pulley is exposed for receiving the drive belt.
