ABSTRACT:
In a self-propelled working vehicle having a speed change mechanism wherein a plurality of change gears journaled on a shaft are coupled one at a time by key means disposed within and shiftable along the shaft, fluid-actuated clutch is provided for interrupting input of power to the speed change mechanism before shifting operations. For protecting gear-engaging clutch portion of the key means for damage, fluid pressure applied to the clutch from a disengaged condition thereof is increased gradually by a relief valve including a pressure-modulating control piston. For disengaging the clutch before shifting operations, an unloader valve is provided which is actuated by moving a speed change lever along a direction other than the key-shifting direction.
Relief valve means also acting as an unloader valve for disengaging the clutch is disclosed. Differential-locking clutch is also disclosed which is operated by fluid for actuating the clutch in the transmission path.
