ABSTRACT:
A supplementary hydrostatic front wheel drive for a motor grader or the like utilizes pump flow from an already existing implement system as the source of supply to operate the drive wheel motors. The drive wheel motors are of the variable displacement over center type, and the system provides equal flow to both drive wheel motors to establish a synchronized rotational speed of both drive wheel motors. The displacements of the drive wheel motors are responsive to vehicle ground speed. The drive wheel components may include friction driving means which are responsive to the primary vehicle drive system.
