Power Train Components
(1) Steering clutches and brakes
(2) Final drives
(3) Diesel engine
(4) Tracks
(5) Torque divider
(6) Main drive shaft
(7) Transfer and bevel gears
(8) Transmission (power shift) Power from diesel engine (3) flows through torque divider (5), through main drive shaft (6), through transmission (8), through transfer and bevel gears (7), through steering clutches and brakes (1), and through final drives (2). Power then flows to tracks (4).Diesel engine (3) sends power from the flywheel to the torque divider.Torque divider (5) sends the power to main drive shaft (6) through a planetary gear system and the torque converter.Power through main drive shaft (6) flows to transmission (8). Transmission (8) has three speeds in Forward and Reverse. Speed and direction of the transmission is controlled manually by the operator. When the control lever for the transmission is moved to a speed and a direction position, power from the transmission goes to transfer and bevel gears (7).Transfer and bevel gears (7) turn two inner axle shafts that send the power to steering clutches and brakes (1).Steering clutches are used to turn the machine. The brakes stop the machine and the brakes give assistance to the steering action of the steering clutches. Power through steering clutches and brakes (1) is used to turn the two outer axle shafts that turn final drives (2).Final drives (2) give a double reduction through the use of planetary gears. The power is sent to tracks (4) that move the machine.
