Propellor Shaft & Universal Joints
The drive train on this machine incorporates three drive shafts and five universal joints:
The front shaft extends from the transmission to a point just above and aft of the forward
outrigger box. The shaft runs in a “Hanger” bearing at this point.
The second shaft couples with the front shaft and extends rearward to the intermediate axle.
The third shaft couples the two axles of the rear bogie, transmitting drive from the forward
driving axle to the rear axle.
End yokes are used at all shaft ends and all couplings use bearing-cap type cross journal
retainers.
