Appl. No.:

15/513423

Inventors:

- HUSKVARNA, SE

Matt Lambert - Harrisburg NC, US
Robert Fancher - Charlotte NC, US
David Baker - Ft. Lawn SC, US

Assignee:

HUSQVARNA AB - HUSKVARNA

International Classification:

B62D 11/10
B62D 11/00

Abstract:

A drive assembly () for a walk-behind, powered device operably couples an engine () of the powered device to a mobility assembly () to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine (). The drive assembly () includes a transmission shaft and a mechanical power reversing assembly (). The transmission shaft selectively receives first drive power or second drive power coupled from the engine () to drive a first drivable component () and a second drivable component () of the mobility assembly (). The first and second drivable components () are disposed substantially at opposing sides of the powered device. The mechanical power reversing assembly () is selectively engagable to convert the first drive power generated for the first drivable component () into the second drive power provided to the second drivable component () and vice versa.

A01D 34/81

Abstract:

A drive system includes a first transmission, a second transmission and at least one flexible driving member. The first transmission is operably coupled to a first set of wheels to provide drive power to the first set of wheels responsive to engagement of the first transmission. The second transmission is operably coupled to a second set of wheels to provide drive power to the second set of wheels responsive to engagement of the second transmission. The at least one flexible driving member is operably coupled to a remote actuator and a drive shaft of the walk-behind outdoor power equipment device. The at least one flexible member selectively engages one of the first transmission or the second transmission to switch a walk-behind outdoor power equipment device between all wheel drive operation and another drive mode via the remote actuator.
