A frame structure of a vehicle includes a flywheel housing, an
intermediate housing and a transmission case that are connected to each
other along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle to constitute a vehicle
frame with an inner space for accommodating a running-power transmission
path for transmitting power from an engine to drive wheels via a HST
unit. The flywheel housing has a first end connected to the engine and a
second open end opposite to the first end along the longitudinal axis of
the vehicle. The intermediate housing has a hollow shape with a first end
and a second end located along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The
first end has an abutting surface against which the second end of the
flywheel housing abuts, a support surface located radially inwardly of
the abutting surface so as to support the HST unit, and an opening
surrounded by the support surface. The opening serves as a first-end
opening of the intermediate housing along the longitudinal axis of the
vehicle. The abutting surface and the support surface along the
longitudinal axis of the vehicle are located so that at least a portion
of the HST unit is accommodated within the flywheel housing.
