Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
A tractor transmission mechanism having a transmission case, an engine output shaft connected to an engine, double action clutch means connected to the engine output shaft and including a travelling system clutch and a power take-off system clutch, a travelling system input rotary shaft projecting through a wall of the transmission case and connected to the travelling system clutch, a rotary cylindrical shaft co-axially fitted on a part of the travelling system input shaft projecting through the wall of the transmission case, said transmission mechanism comprising; an auxiliary gear case fitted on the external periphery of the rotary cylindrical shaft and on the external surface of the wall of the transmission case, a power take-off system input rotary shaft disposed beneath the travelling system input rotary shaft, one end of said input rotary shaft being extended through the wall of the transmission case into the auxiliary gear case, a toothed wheel mounted on the rotary cylindrical shaft and disposed in the auxiliary gear case, and a further toothed wheel mounted on the extended end of the power take-off system input rotary shaft in the auxiliary gear case, said wheels being engaged with each other.
