ABSTRACT:
Maneuverability of a work vehicle having front steerable drive wheels is improved by increasing steering clearance. The front drive axle is pivoted to the vehicle for pivotal movement about a fore-and-aft extending oscillation centerline located above the lateral centerline of the axle. The drive shaft is in substantially collinear alignment with the oscillation centerline. The axle has an input shaft that is below and in substantially parallel alignment with the oscillation centerline and is substantially perpendicular to the lateral centerline of the axle. The drive shaft and the input shaft are drivingly connected by intermeshing drive and driven gears mounted on the drive and input shafts, respectively.
