This patent describes a transmission device including a casing elongated towards a power transfer aperture defined therein, a first bearing mounted in the power transfer aperture, a second bearing, a power output member rotatably supported in the power transfer aperture by the first bearing, and a power output shaft within the casing. An outer end of power output shaft is rotationally coupled to the power output member and an inner portion of power output shaft is supported from the casing by the second bearing. The power output shaft is formed with an axially extending aperture for receiving supply of lubricating oil and with a radially extending aperture communicating at its radially inward end to the axially extending aperture, for squirting out lubricating oil from the power output shaft in generally radial directions as the power output shaft revolves, a lubricating oil shield cover.
