    Abstract: A rear mechanism for a work machine includes first and second spring housings operably engaged by one or more springs. The first and second spring housings are assembled with an endcap housing between first and second clutch packs that engage a rear axle of the work machine. A first cavity is formed between the first and second spring housing, and a second cavity is formed between the first housing and the endcap housing. Pressurizing the first cavity compresses the springs and releases a park brake of the work machine to enable front wheel drive of the work machine. While pressurizing the first cavity, the second cavity is pressurized such that the first spring housing compresses the first clutch pack to enable four wheel drive of the work machine.

    Abstract: A drive assembly for a work vehicle includes an electric machine input arrangement with a first electric machine configured to generate a first source of power, an electric machine input gear assembly configured to receive the first source of power from the first electric machine, and a second electric machine configured to generate a second source of power. The drive assembly further includes a combination gear arrangement coupled to selectively receive the first source of power from the electric machine input gear assembly and the second source of power from the second electric machine to produce a combined power; and an electric machine output arrangement configured to receive and transfer the combined power from the combination gear arrangement.

    Abstract: A spring preloaded lockup clutch system comprises clutch disc(s), an input component, and an output component housed in a hydraulic fluid chamber of a torque converter, a lockup piston and a mechanical spring housed in a piston housing of the torque converter, and a relief valve coupled to the hydraulic fluid chamber. The clutch disc(s), when engaged, couples the input component to the output component. The lockup piston has a first end and a second end, engages with the clutch disc(s) when biased, and disengages from the clutch disc(s) when unbiased. The mechanical spring, coupled to the lockup piston at the second end, applies force to bias the lockup piston. The relief valve, when opened, relieves hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic fluid chamber allowing the lockup piston to remain being biased, and, when closed, allows the hydraulic pressure to build up allowing the lockup piston to be unbiased.

    Abstract: A speed-changing device (21) is provided with an input shaft (22), an output shaft (23), a planetary gear mechanism (29), a first variator (33), a second variator (34), and a controller (25). The planetary gear mechanism (29) is configured to include a carrier (29A) connected to the input shaft (22), a first sun gear (29B) connected to the first variator (33), and a second sun gear (29C) connected to the output shaft (23). The second variator (34) transmits power transmitted from the first variator (33) to the output shaft (23), or transmits power transmitted from the output shaft (23) to the first variator (33). The controller (25) changes the rotation speed of the first variator (33), thereby changing the rotation speed of the output shaft (23) in relation to the rotation speed of the input shaft (22).
