Abstract

See full text

A variable speed transmission is disposed in a housing of a work vehicle, wherein the housing includes an external mounting surface. At least one axle is driven by the variable speed transmission and extends from the transaxle housing. An operator handle and the prime mover are mounted directly to external surfaces of the transaxle housing to provide a frameless vehicle. The transmission may also drive a power take-off assembly, which is also supported by the transaxle housing, to drive a work tool.
