A pump unit for supply and discharge of hydraulic fluid into and from an actuator
upon receiving driving power from a driving source is provided, in which said actuator
is fluidly connected to said pump unit via a hydraulic circuit. The pump unit includes
an input member operatively connected to the driving source, a first hydraulic
pump body operatively connected to the input member, a pump case for accommodating
the first hydraulic pump body and forming a hydraulic fluid sump, and a PTO unit
accommodated within the pump case. The PTO unit includes a PTO shaft supported
by the pump case so as to have an end extending outward from the pump case, and
a clutch mechanism for selectively enabling and disabling transmission of driving
power from the input member to the PTO shaft.
