• The front axle of this is constructed as shown above.
Power is transmitted from the transmission through
the propeller shaft and to the spiral bevel pinion
shaft (16), then to the spiral bevel pinion gear (15)
after that to the differential gear. The power through
the differential is transmitted to the differential shaft
(4), and to the bevel gear shaft (6) in the bevel gear
case (3). The revolution is greatly reduced by the bevel gear
(7), (8), then the power is transmitted to the front
axle (9).
The differential system allows each wheel to rotate
at a different speed to make turning easier.
