General Information

Drive Train Operation

Workman HD series vehicles are equipped with a Toro
designed transaxle with 3 forward speeds, 1 reverse
Optional PTO
speed and a differential lock. Hi−Lo range gives an effec-
tive 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds.
The transaxle is a constant mesh, collar shift transmis-
sion with synchronizers for gears 1, 2 and 3. Reverse
and High−Low range must be shifted with the vehicle
stationary.
An optional top mounted PTO operates at 540 RPM.
The transaxle with automotive type clutch is bolted to the
engine with the engine/transaxle assembly isolation
mounted to the vehicle frame.
Two (2) heavy duty universal driveshafts transfer power
from the transaxle to the rear wheels. A fully indepen-
dent rear suspension and Dedion type rear axle isolate
the mid−mounted engine/transaxle assembly from the
Transaxle
terrain.
The transaxle housing also functions as the hydraulic
Figure 1
system reservoir.
On units equipped with four wheel drive (4WD), a front
output shaft in the transaxle transfers power from the
transaxle to the front differential and then to the front
wheels. For information on front wheel drive for 4WD ve-
hicles, see Chapter 10 − Front Wheel Drive (4WD).
