Abstract

1,164,571. Articulated endless track vehicle. CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO. 26 Feb., 1968 [1 March, 1967], No. 9141/68. Heading B7H. An articulated vehicle comprises front and rear portions 11, 12 pivoted together at 13 about a vertical axis, each portion having an axle member 29, 29<SP>1</SP> on each side on which is oscillatably mounted a driven endless track assembly 28. The rear track assemblies 28 are mounted on an axle housing 33 which is pivotable about a longitudinal axis of the rear portion 12 on a pivot 34. Preferably each track assembly 28 is reinforced by a curved member 55 which is secured to a track frame 43 and pivoted to the corresponding axle housing at 58 (Fig. 2) on the axis of the axle member 29. Each track is driven from a differential assembly 57 through a shaft 67, reduction gear pair 68/64, a sleeve 65 mounted co-axially with an axle member 29, a chain 52 and a drive sprocket 44. Each track frame 43 has both flanged and unflanged track rollers 47 and 47<SP>1</SP>. An engine 14 and driver's position 17 are provided on the rear portion 12 and a loader bucket 15 or dozer blade on the front portion 11.
