A
lawn mower having selectively drivable wheels, includes dirigible front drive wheels, a pair of right and left rear drive wheels, a
body frame, an engine supported by the
body frame, a
mower unit vertically movably supported by the
body frame forwardly of the rear drive wheels, a change speed device for changing a speed of drive from the engine, a front wheel driving device for transmitting drive from the change speed device to the front wheels, a left rear wheel driving device for transmitting drive from the change speed device to a right axle of the left rear wheel, a right rear wheel driving device for transmitting drive from the change speed device to a left axle of the left rear wheel, and rear wheel clutches associated with the left rear wheel driving device and the right rear wheel driving device, respectively, for selectively connecting and disconnecting drive. The rear wheel clutches are operable by an
interlocking mechanism in response to a displacement to the front drive wheels from a straight running posture, to disconnect drive transmission to one of the rear drive wheels moving along an inner track of turning of the vehicle body. The
interlocking mechanism has a link mechanism operatively connecting a steering mechanism for steering the front drive wheels to each of the rear wheel clutches, and extending over the
mower unit.
