A hydrostatic transaxle comprises: a housing; an axle disposed in the housing; a hydraulic motor having a rotary axis disposed in the housing; an inward-and-outward opened hole formed in the housing and disposed on the rotary axis of the hydraulic motor; and first and second motor shafts prepared to serve as a motor shaft of the hydraulic motor for driving the axle. One of the first and second motor shafts is selected to be disposed on the rotary axis of the hydraulic motor in the housing. When the first motor shaft is selected, an outer end of the first motor shaft is disposed in the housing so as to face the hole. When the second motor shaft is selected, an outer end of the second motor shaft projects outward from the housing through the hole.
