RUNNING GEAR OF ADJUSTABLE WHEEL TRACK HAVING EQUALIZING GEAR AND EPICYCLIC GEAR DRIVE

摘要

A differential mechanism for heavy-duty power machines with adjustable wheel tracks, such as farm machinery. The mechanism is provided with a specially constructed differential gear arrangement, including first and second differential gear housing parts. The first part supports an annular crown gear. The second part defines an open ended chamber. The housing is supported at each end in roller bearings. A centralized disc brake may be mounted externally on the second housing part. An anti-slip mechanism may be mounted on the inside of the second housing part. The anti-slip mechanism is controllably engagable.
