Mower unit having a bevel gear mechanism

摘要

A mower unit having a bevel gear mechanism includes an input shaft extending substantially horizontally; a first bevel gear mounted on the input shaft; an output shaft extending substantially vertically; a second bevel gear meshed with the first bevel gear and mounted on one end of the output shaft; a blade mounted on the other end of the output shaft; a blade housing coveting the blade and defining an opening for receiving the output shaft; a beating holder rotatably supporting the output shaft; a bevel gear case containing the first and second bevel gears; and a pair of fight and left support stays connected to the bevel gear case for mounting the bevel gear case to the blade housing. The bearing holder and support stays are interconnected by reamer bolts, with the blade housing interposed between flange surfaces formed on the beating holder and flange surfaces formed on the support stays. Soft metal packings are interposed between the flange surfaces of the support stays and upper surfaces of the blade housing.
