A mower deck can include roller assemblies that prolong the life of bearings by more evenly distributing the roller's load to the bearings. The roller assembly can include a roller that is secured between opposing bearings via a tapered shaft of the roller and a correspondingly tapered collar that is housed within the corresponding bearing. The interface between the tapered shaft and the tapered collar causes the collar to be secured snugly within the bearing while also providing even distribution of the roller's load to the bearing.

An electric powered work vehicle is to be configured so that holding of the battery at the storage position can be carried out easily at the time of attachment of the battery. There is provided guide mechanism for movably guiding the battery while supporting it along a horizontal direction between a storage position and a detachment position located away from the storage position along the horizontal direction. There is provided a holding mechanism configured to be automatically operated to a holding state capable of holding the battery at the storage position when the battery is moved to the storage position along the guide mechanism. There is provided a releasing operational portion manually operable to render the holding mechanism to a releasing state for allowing movement of the battery to the detachment position.

The invention provides a mower, which comprises a battery package assembly and a frame for bearing the battery package assembly; the battery package assembly comprises a battery package and a fixing plate, the battery package is fixed on the fixing plate, a plurality of first pulleys are arranged at the bottom of the fixing plate, and the first pulleys are distributed along the installation direction of the battery package assembly. The frame comprises a supporting surface, and the first pulleys are supported on the supporting surface. The battery package assembly of the lawn mower moves on the supporting surface in a rolling mode, generated friction force is small, and convenience and labor saving can be achieved for the mounting and dismounting processes of the battery package assembly.

A work vehicle includes a pair of left and right pivotal connecting units provided on a front frame, a caster wheel, a caster axle and a caster bracket connected to the pivotal connecting unit. The caster bracket includes side walls supporting the caster axle, a top wall extending rearwards from the upper side of the caster wheel and interconnecting the left side wall and the right side wall, and left and right cover portions for covering gaps between the side walls and the caster wheel.

Ride-on equipment includes a pair of front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, a main frame, a subframe pivotally coupled to the main frame about a pivot axis, a power source, and a transaxle assembly. The power source is coupled to and supported by the main frame and includes a drive pulley. The transaxle assembly is configured to pivot with respect to the power source, is operably coupled to the pair of rear drive wheels, and includes at least one driven pulley. The drive pulley and the at least one driven pulley are operably coupled by a belt such that the at least one driven pulley of the transaxle assembly is configured to be driven by the drive pulley of the source via the belt.

A zero turn vehicle is disclosed, having an operator platform located adjacent to the rear of the frame. An upright riser is disposed on the frame. The vehicle uses first and second electric drive transmissions to drive the output wheels. An electrical bus or controllers may be mounted on a panel of the upright riser to assist in providing a compact design. A pair of drive levers is mounted on the upright riser for controlling the output of the vehicle.

In an electric work vehicle, a power feeding assembly which connects a battery device to a power controller unit so as to feed power includes a fixed connector which is fixed to the battery device and electrically connected to the battery device, a cable harness connected to a power controller unit, and a free connector which is connected to an end of the cable harness and connectable to a fixed connector, and a connecting operation tool is configured to be movable the free connector between the connecting position in which the free connector is connected to the fixed connector and the detaching position.

A traveling control section of a traveling vehicle is configured to effect a normal operation to control an output of an engine when a vehicle speed is below a set vehicle speed, such that the engine output may correspond to an operation amount of an accelerator operating tool and to effect an output suppressing operation when the vehicle speed is equals to or more than the set vehicle speed, such that the vehicle speed may stay below the set vehicle speed, irrespectively of the operation amount of the accelerator operating tool. A fuel ratio in an air-fuel ratio in the output suppressing operation is set smaller than a fuel ratio in an air-fuel ratio in the normal operation.

A control assembly for use with a vehicle having a pivot arm for controlling output of the vehicle includes a bracket, a yoke attached to the pivot arm, and a shaft engaged to the yoke and extending into the bracket. The pivot arm is rotatable about a first axis of rotation between a neutral position and a plurality of forward positions and a plurality of reverse positions. When in the neutral position, the pivot arm may also rotate about a second axis of rotation between an operative position and a stopped position, and a switch may be engaged when the pivot arm is rotated to the stopped position. A return to neutral assembly may provide a return force to the pivot arm when it is rotated about the first axis of rotation away from the neutral position.

A transaxle with a brake includes an axle supported by the transaxle casing, a continuously variable transmission disposed in the transaxle casing, a braking device that is disposed in the transaxle casing and locks a rotation of the axle, a speed control arm that is journaled so as not to rotate relatively with respect to the transmission operating shaft of the transmission, controls the transmission, and is capable of changing a rotation of the axle continuously. A brake arm that is journaled with respect to an operating shaft of the braking device and a relay arm that is journaled so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the transmission operating shaft are also included. The relay arm has one end connected to the brake arm via a link mechanism and the other end for lock operation input.
