ABSTRACT:
First and second differentials are pivotally connected beneath the frame of a work machine by trunnion supporting members and first and second pairs of trunnions. Output and input shafts extend through bores disposed in the first and second trunnions and are connected to a power transferring shaft by a pair of joints. A distance "L" between a center of universal movement of the joints is minimized. The first differential includes a transfer gear portion.
