A transaxle (1), having a hydraulic drive unit (20) and a pair of left and
right wheel support units (2L and 2R), is suspended from a vehicle frame
so as to be turnable around a turning-center axis oriented in a
fore-and-aft direction of a vehicle. The hydraulic drive unit (20)
comprises: a pair of left and right hydraulic motors (23L and 23R) having
respective left and right horizontal motor shafts (23b); a center section
(22) formed therein with an oil passage for hydraulically connecting at
least one of the hydraulic motors to a hydraulic pump, the center section
having motor attachment surfaces onto which the hydraulic motors are
attached; and a pair of left and right axle casings (2L and 2R)
containing the respective hydraulic motors and supporting the respective
motor shafts. The pair of wheel support units (30L and 30R), supporting
respective left and right travel wheels (1L and 1R), are joined to
respective outer ends of the left and right axle casings, and drivingly
connected to the respective motor shafts (23b).
