the mower housing, pivots the transmission forward to
maintain tension on the belt.
The worm is in constant mesh with the helical gear. The
clutching action is provided by a sliding clutch jaw. A shift
fork moves the clutch jaw to engage and disengage the
transmission. When the clutch jaw engages the helical
gear, power is transferred from the clutch jaw to the
sleeve inside the clutch jaw. The sleeve is pinned to the
axle. The axle then begins to rotate (Fig. 001).
