The permanent lawn mower, or inground lawn mower, is designed to be an alternative to conventional mobile mowing. Its focus is small grassy areas that are dangerous or impractical to mow by other means. In a first embodiment, the system includes three primary components: a drive unit that supplies rotational motion; a cable that carries rotational motion away from the drive unit, and one or more cutting heads that convert the rotational motion into a cutting action. In a second embodiment, the drive unit is combined with the cutting head, avoiding the need for a cable to carry rotational motion.

The invention provides a lawn mower, which comprises a power assembly, a cutting blade driven by the power assembly, and a cover, wherein the cover comprises a main body, a rear cover pivotally connected to the rear of the main body, and a partition portion dividing the main body into a cutting cavity and a grass-collecting cavity, the partition portion comprising a baffle, the rear cover is selectively pivotal between an open position and a closed position. The baffle is driven by the rear cover.

A transmission housing (1) which can be coupled to the drive shaft (21) of an electric motor (20) to form a gearbox (22), the transmission housing (1) comprising a housing body (2) defining a cavity (4), and housed at least partially inside the cavity (4)—a rotary drive member (5),—an output shaft (6) and,—a device (7) for transmitting the rotational movement of the rotary drive member (5) to the output shaft (6), characterised in that the rotary drive member (5) is supported inside the cavity (4) of the housing body (2) by one or more guide members (8) and comprises a wall (9) and two coaxial helical teeth (10) created from a single part with the wall (9) and arranged on either side of the wall (9), the helical teeth (10) being configured to generate axial forces in opposite directions.

A chopper system for a sugarcane harvester comprises a chopper and a timing-adjustment tool. The chopper comprises a first chopper drum mounted for rotation about a first axis of rotation and comprising blades, a second chopper drum mounted for rotation about a second axis of rotation and comprising blades that cooperate with the blades of the first chopper drum to sever sugarcane stalks into billets upon rotation of the first and second chopper drums respectively about the first and second axes of rotation, and a gearbox that coordinates rotation of the first and second chopper drums relative to one another to establish a timing of operation between the blades of the first and second chopper drums. The timing-adjustment tool removably mounts to the chopper to adjust the timing of operation.

A lawn mower includes a blade housing and a height adjusting mechanism for adjusting a height of the blade housing with respect to the associated ground. The height adjusting mechanism includes rear wheel support members for supporting rear drive wheels. Each rear drive wheel includes a cover having an exterior cover part and an interior cover part. The interior cover part is directly connected to one of the support members without the use of separate associated mechanical fasteners.

Feederhouse gearboxes are provided for installation on combine harvesters. In embodiments, the feederhouse gearbox includes a gearbox housing, an output shaft rotatable about an output axis, and a primary drive input. The primary drive input is mechanically linked to an engine of the combine harvester when the feederhouse gearbox is installed thereon. A reverser drive input is mechanically linked to a reverser motor of the combine harvester when the feederhouse gearbox is installed on the combine harvester. The feederhouse gearbox further includes a selector mechanism within the gearbox housing and movable between a primary drive position and a reverser drive position, a primary gear train transmitting rotation from the primary drive input to the output shaft when the selector mechanism is in the primary drive position, and a reverser worm drive transmitting rotation from the reverser drive input to the output shaft when the selector mechanism is in the reverser drive position.
