What is claimed is: 1. A pump unit including a plurality of hydraulic pump bodies respectively fluidly connected to a plurality of hydraulic motor bodies, which are disposed away from the pump unit, so as to form closed circuits, the pump unit comprising: a housing accommodating the plurality of hydraulic pump bodies so that the plurality of hydraulic pump bodies are operatively driven by a common driving source, the housing including a hollow housing body formed with an opening that has a size allowing the plurality of hydraulic pump bodies to pass therethrough, and a center section connected to the housing body so as to liquid-tightly close the opening; a charge pump body operatively driven by the driving source; a charge pump case connected to the housing so as to surround the charge pump body; hydraulic fluid passages forming a part of the closed circuit; a suction fluid passage fluidly connected to a suction side of the charge pump body; a discharge fluid passage fluidly connected to a discharge side of the charge pump body; a charge passage for replenishing a part of pressurized fluid in the discharge fluid passage into each of the closed circuits; a working machine operating fluid passage for supplying a part of the pressurized fluid in the discharge fluid passage toward an external hydraulic actuator; a working machine switching valve for selectively communicating or shutting off the working machine operating fluid passage; a filter inserted in the suction fluid passage; a relief valve that has a primary side fluidly connected to the discharge fluid passage; a sequence valve interposed between the discharge fluid passage and the working machine operating fluid passage; a pressure-reducing valve interposed between the discharge fluid passage and the charge passage; wherein the hydraulic fluid passages are formed in the center section so as to be fluidly connected to the corresponding bodies and have first ends opened at an outer surface to form hydraulic fluid ports; wherein the working machine operating fluid passage is formed in the charge pump case so as to have a proximal end fluidly connected to the discharge fluid passage via the sequence valve and a distal end opened at an outer surface to form a working machine operating fluid port; and wherein the filter, the working machine switching valve, the relief valve, and the sequence valve are mounted to the charge pump case. 2. A pump unit according to claim 1, wherein the distal end of the working machine operating fluid passage is branched so as to have two working machine operating fluid ports; and the working machine switching valve is inserted within one of the two branched passages. 3. A pump unit according to claim 1, wherein the hydraulic fluid ports and the working machine operating fluid port are faced to the same direction with respect to one another. 4. A pump unit according to claim 1, further comprising: a power take-off (PTO) shaft operatively driven by the common driving source; a hydraulic PTO clutch for selectively engaging or disengaging power transmission from the common driving source to the PTO shaft; a PTO fluid passage having a proximal end fluidly connected to the discharge fluid passage via an orifice and a distal end fluidly connected to the PTO clutch; a PTO switching valve inserted within the PTO fluid passage; and a PTO relief valve having a primary side fluidly connected to the PTO fluid passage.
