Abstract
A self-propelled walk-behind snowplow vehicle has a vehicle body and a vertical engine mounted on an upper part of the vehicle body. The vertical engine has a crankshaft disposed generally vertical and a cylinder head disposed generally horizontal to a longitudinal direction of the snowplow vehicle. The cylinder head projects from the vehicle body in a rearward direction of the snowplow vehicle. Left and right traveling units are mounted on a lower part of the vehicle body at left and right sides thereof. A muffler is connected to the engine and is disposed below the engine and located between the left and right traveling units. The vehicle body and the left and right traveling units together define a downward opening space within which the muffler is disposed.
