A hydrostatic transmission mountable to a frame of a vehicle for driving a left side or right side drive wheel. A motor portion of the transmission can extend outwardly from the frame and a pump portion can extend upwardly from the frame. The motor portion can be configured to be at least partially received within a wheel for direct mounting of the wheel to an output shaft of the motor. The pump portion can include an input shaft extending from a lower side thereof for connection to a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine.

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle comprising:a frame;a first hydrostatic transmission supported by the frame, the first hydrostatic transmission having a housing assembly and a rotatably driven output shaft;a first wheel mounted to the output shaft of the first hydrostatic transmission for supporting the vehicle for movement over a surface, the first wheel located on a first side of the vehicle;a second hydrostatic transmission supported by the frame, the second hydrostatic transmission having a housing assembly and a rotatably driven output shaft;a second wheel mounted to the output shaft of the second hydrostatic transmission for supporting the vehicle for movement over a surface, the second wheel located on a second side of the vehicle opposite the first side; andwherein the first and second hydrostatic transmissions are identical, each further comprising an input shaft and an input drive wheel connected to the input shaft for rotatably driving the input shaft, the input drive wheel mounted to the input shaft on a lower side of the housing assembly.
