ABSTRACT:
A steering axle assembly including an elongated main frame, a pair of steering knuckles, each rotatably mounted on one end of the main frame and rotatably supporting steerable wheels, a hydraulic cylinder rigidly fixed to the main frame and having ports on each end through which hydraulic fluid is received, a piston slidable within the cylinder, a lever extending from outside the cylinder into the cylinder and connected to the piston, and a pair of tie rods each pivotally connected to the lever outside the cylinder and to the steering knuckles. The lever has a pivot between its ends so that as the piston reciprocates within the cylinder, the tie rods are movable to rotate the steering knuckles, and hence the wheels attached to the knuckles.
