A pouring device for facilitating pouring of material in a cook pot into a container. The pouring device includes a base portion being designed for resting on a support surface. The base portion is designed for receiving a container. A pair of support portions are positioned on the base portion. An axle portion is coupled between the support portions whereby the support portions support the axle portion above the base portion. The support portions are removable from the base portion to allow for easier clean up of the base portion. A pouring assembly is rotatably coupled the axle portion. The pouring assembly is designed for receiving a cook pot whereby the pouring assembly is for pouring material from the cook pot into the container positioned on the base member when the pouring assembly is rotated with respect to the base portion.

An implement according to claim 2, wherein the aperture provided in the drive retainer for receiving the first spring end is a radially extending slot. 4. An implement according to claim 2, wherein the second spring end contacts the arm portion of the pawl. 5. An implement according to claim 1, wherein the arm portion of the pawl includes an axially inward extending tang and the drive disk includes a radially spaced aperture provide in the drive disk, the axially inward extending tang received by the radially spaced aperture. 6. An implement according to claim 5, wherein the axially inward extending tang is an axially inward extending prong and the radially spaced aperture is a radially extending slot. 7. An implement according to claim 1, wherein the drive disk is provided with a plurality of notches and the friction seal is provided with a plurality of stops corresponding in number to the plurality of notches and located and sized to be received by the notches so as to prevent rotational movement of the drive disk relative to the friction seal. 8. An implement according to claim 7, wherein the notches are provided circumferentially about an outer edge of the drive disk and are equidistantly spaced apart and the stops are provided circumferentially about an axially extending interior surface of the friction seal and are spaced apart to permit engagement with the notches. 9. An implement according to claim 1, wherein the drive retainer is provided with a first recess for receiving the biasing means and a second recess for receiving the pawl. 10. An implement according to claim 9, wherein the first recess communicates with the second recess and is annularly shaped and concentric to driving means. 11. An implement according to claim 10, wherein the second recess is polygonally shaped and includes a first chordal wall, a second chordal wall and an arcuate wall intermediate to and intersecting with the first chordal wall and the second chordal wall. 12. An implement according to claim 1, wherein the pinion wheel is provided with a pinion wheel recess for receiving the drive retainer. 13. An implement according to claim 12, wherein the pinion wheel recess has an axially extending peripheral wall that includes a plurality of axially and radially inwardly extending projections. 14. An implement according to claim 13, wherein the peripheral wall of the recess resembles a trefoil and the plurality of projections comprises three tooth-like projections located individually at a first rounded apex, a second rounded apex and a third rounded apex of the recess. 15. An implement according to claim 1, wherein driving means rotate in a first rotational direction relative to the housing, the drive retainer also rotates in the first rotational direction and thereby causes the pawl engaged with the drive to become movably transformed from the un-extended state to the extended state wherein, in the extended state, the pawl engages the pinion wheel so as to cause the pinion wheel to rotate relative to the housing in the first rotational direction of the driving means and so as to further cause the traction drive wheel to rotate relative to the housing in the first rotational direction of the driving means. 16. An implement according to claim 15, wherein when the driving means ceases to rotate in the first rotational direction relative to the housing, the drive retainer ceases to rotate in the same first rotational direction of the driving means, the pinion wheel continues to rotate in the first rotational direction, the pawl disengages from the pinion wheel, the biasing means returns the pawl t o the un-extended state, and the traction drive wheel thereby acquires a freewheeling state. 17. A traction drive system for a powered implement having a housing, a prime mover, a prime mover output shaft, and a traction drive wheel assembly, the traction drive system comprising: (a) a gear box suitable for pivotally mounting to the housing and comprising a gear box input shaft and a gear box output shaft suitable for coupling to the traction drive wheel assembly; (b) a prime mover pulley suitable for mounting on the prime mover output shaft; (c) a gear box pulley mounted on the gear box input shaft; (d) a belt for interconnecting the pulleys when the gear box is appropriately pivoted relative to the housing; and (e) a bi-directional freewheeling clutch suitable for operatively coupling the gear box output shaft and the drive wheel assembly wherein when the gear box is appropriately pivoted and the gear box output shaft is caused to rotate, the clutch is activated by contact with the gear box output shaft, thereby allowing torque to transfer between the gear box output shaft and the drive wheel assembly, whereas when the gear box shaft is not rotated there is no appreciable torque transfer between the drive wheel assembly and the gear box output shaft and the drive wheel assembly can freewheel in either direction, wherein the bi-directional freewheeling clutch comprises: (i) a pawl having a base portion and an arm portion extending from the base portion, and further having a neutral, un-extended state and an engaged, extended state relative to a driving member; (ii) a drive disk concentric to the driving member and adapted to be engaged by the pawl; (iii) a friction seal concentric to the driving member and adapted to receive the drive disk; (iv) a drive retainer concentric to the driving member and adapted to receive the pawl and biasing means, the biasing means being engaged with the pawl and the drive retainer; and (v) a pinion wheel concentric to the driving member and adapted to receive the drive retainer. 18. A traction drive system according to claim 17, wherein the biasing means is a torsion spring concentric to the driving member and having a first axially outward extending spring end and a second axially extending outward spring end, the first spring end received by a radial spaced aperture provided in the drive retainer and the second spring end engaging the pawl so as to cause the pawl to be biased inwardly relative to the drive retainer when the pawl is in the engaged, extended state. 19. A traction drive system according to claim 18, wherein the aperture provided in the drive retainer for receiving the first spring end is a radially extending slot. 20. A traction drive system according to claim 18, wherein the second spring end contacts the arm portion of the pawl. 21. A traction drive system according to claim 17, wherein the arm portion of the pawl includes an axially inward extending tang and the drive disk includes a radially spaced aperture provide in the drive disk, the axially inward extending tang received by the radially spaced aperture. 22. A traction drive system according to claim 21, wherein the axially inward extending tang is an axially inward extending prong and the radially spaced aperture is a radially extending slot. 23. A traction drive system according to claim 17, wherein the drive disk is provided with a plurality of notches and the friction seal is provided with a plurality of stops corresponding in number to the plurality of notches and located and sized to be received by the notches so as to prevent rotational movement of the drive disk relative to the friction seal. 24. A traction drive system according to claim 23, wherein the notches are provided circumferentially about an outer edge of the drive disk and are equidistantly spaced apart and the stops are provided circumferentially about an axially extending interior surface of the friction seal and are spaced apart to p
