ABSTRACT:
A drive line disconnect mechanism for effecting rapid connection and disconnection of the drive line between a power module and the ground-engaging wheels of a work module, said modules being adapted to be joined together into an articulated modular vehicle. The drive line disconnect mechanism includes a first toothed coupling half mounted on a power module coupling member and a second toothed coupling half mounted on a work module coupling member wherein the second toothed coupling half is mounted so as to permit multi-planar pivotal movement relative to the first toothed coupling half. Centering means permit initial alignment and biasing means thereafter permit driving engagement.
