ABSTRACT:
A truck having a pair of wheels mounted by individual stub axles to longitudinal members of a frame. Lateral members of the frame received the forces from the wheels via the longitudinal members and forces from the car via air springs mounted to the lateral members adjacent the longitudinal members. The stub axles are easily removed from U-shaped retainers. A sleeve through the hollow axis retains the bearings to the axle. Half shafts interconnect a gear box and the stub axles for driven trucks and the interconnections are dimensioned to allow the shafts to be removed axially through the hollow axle.
