ABSTRACT:
An improved structure for retaining a differential cross shaft in a differential axle assembly is disclosed. The differential axle assembly includes a casing adapted to be rotated about an axis. A cross shaft is disposed within the casing perpendicular to the axis of rotation. A first elongate channel having a larger diameter portion and a smaller diameter portion is formed through the casing. A second elongate channel is formed in the cross shaft having a diameter greater than the smaller diameter portion of the casing channel. The cross shaft channel is adapted to be aligned with the casing channel. A lock pin is inserted through the larger diameter portion of the casing channel and the cross shaft channel into abutting relationship with a shoulder formed at the junction of the larger and smaller diameter portions. A boss is provided to extend into the larger diameter portion of the casing channel to retain the lock pin therein.
