US 6,199,380 B1 · Axle driving apparatus

Abstract

An axle driving apparatus including a housing which houses an input shaft having a longitudinal axis of rotation, axles having a lateral axis of rotation and a power-take-off shaft having a longitudinal axis of rotation. The housing may include a first housing member, a second housing member and a third housing member longitudinally joined with one another. A partition is disposed at a vertical center of the first and second housing members and divides the interior thereof into a first and a second chamber. A third chamber is formed between the second and third housing members. An hydrostatic transmission is disposed in the first chamber. A transmitting mechanism drivingly connecting the hydrostatic transmission with the axles is disposed in the second chamber. Another transmitting mechanism drivingly connecting the input shaft with the power-take-off shaft is disposed in the third chamber.
