ABSTRACT:
A final drive bearing arrangement is provided for rotatably mounting a sprocket carrying hub about a nonrotatable sprocket shaft for a final drive assembly of a crawler tractor. The bearing arrangement includes an annular bearing cage for mounting a tapered roller bearing on the outer end of the hub and has an inner sleeve portion positionable in closely slidable relation about a cylindrical portion on the sprocket shaft adjacent its distal end. A nut screw threadably mounted on the distal end of the shaft is effective in securing the cage thereon and in adjustably exerting a predetermined axial preloading force on the bearing through the cage to obtain the maximum life from the bearing.
