ABSTRACT:
An axle drive mechanism comprises an input shaft rotatably mounted in a housing having bearings for supporting the input shaft at opposite ends of the housing. The input shaft includes a pinion gear in meshed engagement with a driven gear coaxially secured about the longitudinal axis of two axle shafts which extend outwardly from the housing. The housing also includes openings at each end of the housing through which the end portions of the input shaft are exposed exteriorly of the housing so that either or both ends of the input shaft can be coupled to a drive line. The axle drive also includes a closure cap adapted to be received in the opening at one end of the housing for enclosing the housing and protecting the unused shaft end.
