A UTV spare fuel tank is provided. The spare fuel tank includes a main body and a lid coupled to the main body. The main body may include a storage compartment and a fueling compartment accessible by opening the lid. The spare fuel tank include a fuel reservoir formed between an outer wall and an inner wall of the main body. The outer wall forms the outer dimension of the main body and the inner wall forms the storage compartment and the fueling compartment. The spare fuel tank may also include brackets and lift members coupled to the main body and extending below a bottom surface of the main body to lift the main body off of a storage shelf to form a gap between the bottom surface and the storage shelf.

A shift drum has a recess which controls a fork to move one of two cooperating coaxially arranged gears for transmitting torque in a power train of a vehicle. The recess includes a straight section, which upon rotation of the shift drum does not move the fork either to the left or the right, and at least one ramp which does move the fork in one direction (i.e., to the left or the right). The ramp is more complex than a single line, such as having a first portion at a first right-shift portion ramp angle β and a second portion at a second right-shift portion ramp angle γ, perhaps with the intersection between the first right-shift portion ramp angle β and the second right-shift portion ramp angle γ being at the mid-line defined by the straight section of the recess.

A gear transmission (20) includes a plurality of shift gears (36, 37), a plurality of shifters (55, 56) engaged, respectively, with the plurality of shift gears (36, 37), and a shift drum (58) rotatably operated by a stepped speed changing operational tool (66) to operate the plurality of shifters (55, 56), thus being speed-changed in forward three speed stages. The stepped speed changing operational tool (66) is switched to a neutral position, a forward third speed position, a forward second speed position and a forward first speed position in this cited order.

A hybrid power system includes: an engine; a continuously variable transmission, power being transferred between the continuously variable transmission and the engine; a first transmission, power being transferred between the first transmission and the continuously variable transmission; a first main decelerator, power being transferred between the first main decelerator and the first transmission; a first half shaft, power being transferred between the first half shaft the first main decelerator; a motor; a second transmission, power being transferred between the second transmission and the motor; a second main decelerator, power being transferred between the second main decelerator and the second transmission; and a second half shaft, power being transferred between the second half shaft and the second main decelerator, one of the first half shaft and the second half shaft being a front half shaft, and the other thereof being a rear half shaft.

A work vehicle includes an engine (11); a traveling device (1, 2) capable of traveling on the ground; a power transmission device (13) that transmits driving power of the engine (11) to the traveling device (1, 2) with a work oil; a cooling device (15) for cooling the engine (11) with a cooling fluid; a storage unit (17) having a first storage space (17A) for storing the work oil and a second storage space (17B) for storing the cooling fluid.

A vibration-reducing portal box assembly for mounting a wheel of an off-road vehicle includes a housing with a receptacle adapted to receive a stock axle shaft of an off-road vehicle, an output shaft operably connectable to a stock axle received in the housing and effective to rotate upon rotation of said stock axle, and a wheel hub having a central opening adapted to receive said output shaft, and adapted to turn a wheel mounted to said wheel hub upon rotation of said output shaft. The output shaft has a tapered portion connecting its proximal end to its distal end. The wheel hub has a tapered portion adapted to matingly receive the tapered portion of the output shaft. The output shaft may be connected to the stock axle shaft by a geared linking mechanism.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an intake and exhaust system and an all-terrain vehicle. The intake and exhaust system includes a first intake and exhaust structure and a second intake and exhaust structure. The first intake and exhaust structure includes an intake pipe coupled to a transmission and a first exhaust pipe coupled to the transmission. The second intake and exhaust structure includes an air filter coupled to an air inlet of the engine and a second exhaust pipe coupled to the engine. A port of the first exhaust pipe away from the transmission faces the second exhaust pipe.

A tandem wheel assembly includes a tandem wheel housing having a center opening extending along a pivot axis, and wheel end openings extending along associated wheel axes. A pivot cage is configured to fixedly mount to a chassis of a vehicle and is disposed about the pivot axis at the center opening. A center sprocket is disposed within and rotatable with respect to the pivot cage. A wheel end assembly is disposed at each wheel end opening and has a wheel end sprocket, a wheel end gear train, and a wheel end hub. Each wheel end gear train is coupled for rotation by the wheel end sprocket and rotates the wheel end hub about the wheel end axis. A pair of reaction bars are pivotally coupled to the pivot cage at one end and to a component of the wheel end gear train at the other end.

A recreational off-highway vehicle includes a vehicle frame, at least one front wheel, a pair of rear wheels, a solid rear axle, a pair of trailing arms, a rear differential and a motor. The solid rear axle rotatably supports the rear wheels at its opposite ends. Each of the trailing arms is pivotally connected to the vehicle frame and the solid rear axle. A shock absorber is coupled between the vehicle frame and each of the trailing arms. The rear differential is supported on the solid rear axle and connected to the rear wheels. The transmission has a propeller shaft connected to the rear differential to drive the rear wheels. The motor is connected operatively to the transmission. The propeller shaft includes first and second drive sections that articulates relative to each other. The second drive section is connected to the rear differential.

A gear transmission (20) includes a plurality of shift gears (36, 37), a plurality of shifters (55, 56) engaged, respectively, with the plurality of shift gears (36, 37), and a shift drum (58) rotatably operated by a stepped speed changing operational tool (66) to operate the plurality of shifters (55, 56), thus being speed-changed in forward three speed stages. The stepped speed changing operational tool (66) is switched to a neutral position, a forward third speed position, a forward second speed position and a forward first speed position in this cited order.
