ABSTRACT:
A power transfer arrangement has a transmission mounted on a prime mover of a machine and at a predetermined angle "b" relative to an elevational plane of a longitudinal machine axis. The prime mover is at a predetermined angle "a" relative to the longitudinal machine axis. A first drive shaft is connected to deliver rotary power between first and second spaced differentials mounted on and beneath a frame of the machine. A second drive shaft, at a predetermined angle "c" relative to the longitudinal centerline of the prime mover and at a predetermined angle "d" relative to the longitudinal machine axis, is connected to deliver rotary power between the prime mover and the differentials. The first and second drive shafts are elevationally beneath the frame and substantially in a transverse plane of the longitudinal machine axis. A transfer gear case of the second differential transfers rotary power from the second drive shaft to the first drive shaft.
