A hydrostatic transaxle comprises: a motor casing; at least one hydraulic
motor disposed in the motor casing; at least one output shaft disposed in
the motor casing so as to be driven by the at least one hydraulic motor;
and a pair of steerable wheel support units attached onto respective
opposite ends of the motor casing. Each of the steerable wheel support
units includes an axle, a steerable casing, a wheel, and a steering arm.
In each of the steerable wheel support units, the axle is drivingly
connected to the at least one output shaft, the steerable casing is
substantially horizontally rotatable relative to the motor casing, the
wheel is attached on an outer end of the axle outside of the steerable
casing, and the steering arm is rotatably integrally provided on the
steerable casing. The hydrostatic transaxle further comprises a pair of
connection rods for connecting the steering arms of the steerable wheel
support units to a common rotary member of a steering operation mechanism
spaced forward or rearward from the hydrostatic transaxle.
