Housing means (26) are provided for supporting the gear transfer train (28), a pump (196) along the upper axis (36), and a PTO clutch assembly (52) along a third axis (54) between the upper and lower axes (36, 40) such that the PTO clutch assembly (52) is disposed underneath the pump (196) at an effective location. A service brake assembly (44) is also disposed on the lower axis (40) and it, the pump (196) and the PTO clutch assembly (52) can be individually serviced.
