Abstract
An integrated hydrostatic transmission including a reservoir housing having at least two openings, wherein a pre-assembled motor module can be received in one of the openings for closing the opening, and a cover can be attached to the other opening for closing the opening. As a result, the motor can be mounted at a left or right side opening depending on which side of a zero-turn-radius mower or other vehicle the transmission is being mounted, and because the transmission is modular, the design provides for ease of service of both the hydraulic motor and a hydraulic pump.
