PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking type mower with a simple structure which can save power for rotating a mowing blade, while performing mowing work by advancing a traveling machine body and mowing work by reversely moving the traveling machine body.SOLUTION: The mowing blade 10 is supported to the lower part of an engine part E so as to rotate around a vertical shaft center P2. The engine part E and the mowing blade 10 are supported to the traveling machine body 1 so as to rotate around a lateral shaft center P1. The walking type mover includes an incline posture changing mechanism which changes postures of the engine part E and the mowing blade 10 to a front down inclined posture in which the front side of the mowing blade 10 swings downward, and to a rear down inclined posture in which the rear side of the mowing blade 10 swings downward. The lateral shaft center P1 is positioned between a front side axle 3 connected across right and left front wheels 5 and a rear side axle 4 connected across right and left rear wheels 6 in a side view, and positioned to the upper side than a vertical straight line across the front side axle 3 and the rear side axle 4 in the side view.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】走行機体を前進させての刈取作業及び走行機体を後進させての刈取作業を可能に構成しながら、刈刃を回転させる動力を節約することができる歩行型草刈機を簡素な構造で実現する。【解決手段】原動部Eの下部に刈刃10を上下軸心P2周りに回動自在に支持し、走行機体1に原動部E及び刈刃10を左右軸心P1周りに揺動可能に支持する。刈刃10の前側が下方に揺動した前下がり傾斜姿勢、及び、刈刃10の後側が下方に揺動した後下がり傾斜姿勢に、原動部E及び刈刃10を姿勢変更する傾斜姿勢変更機構を備える。左右軸心P1が、側面視で左右の前輪5に亘って連結された前部車軸3と左右の後輪6に亘って連結された後部車軸4との間に位置し、且つ、側面視で前部車軸3と後部車軸4とに亘る仮想直線よりも上方に位置している。【選択図】図3
