ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle having a pair of front drive wheels and a rear steerable drive wheel mounted on a main frame. A sub-frame secured to the main frame intermediate the front and rear drive wheels carries an internal combustion engine and a pump assembly. The pump assembly has a first pump operable to deliver fluid under pressure to fluid operated motors operably connected to the front drive wheels and a second pump operable to deliver fluid under pressure to a fluid operated motor operably connected to the rear drive wheel. The internal combustion engine and pump assembly are located below a seat and floor with both the engine and pump assembly positioned transversely of the main frame of the vehicle. The rear wheel is mounted on the frame for angular movement about a generally upright axis. A fluid operated double acting piston and cylinder assembly operates to angularly move the rear wheel about the upright axis to steer the vehicle.
