ABSTRACT:
A drive train arrangement for a construction-type vehicle having a central frame member includes an engine, a transmission, and a transfer case extending between and interconnecting the engine and the transmission. The vehicle includes a side frame assembly which extends laterally from the central frame member, and which defines a drive train receiving space within which the engine, transmission and transfer case are received. A second side frame assembly extends laterally from the central frame member in an opposite direction, and is adapted to support an operator cab. The engine and the transmission extend along longitudinal axes which are substantially parallel to each other, and the transfer case drivingly interconnects the engine output with the transmission input. The transmission is drivingly engaged with a pair of drive shafts, which extend along a longitudinal axis coincident with the longitudinal axis of the central frame member. The engine, transmission and transfer case are assembled into a subassembly by interconnecting a mounting member with the transmission and the engine at a location spaced from the transfer case, and the subassembly is mounted to the central frame member and the side frame assembly as a unit.
