• From the engine, clutch and
transmission assembly, a short propeller shaft transmits the
power to a
transfer gear box shown in the center of the vehicle
• The transfer gear box divides the
torque equally between the front and rear wheels
• From the transfer gear box one
propeller shaft connects the rear axle and the other to
front axle
• The front axle gears and
differential are of similar or the same construction as the rear axle
• Apart from power transmission, the
front axle allows the front wheels to be turned for
steering
Further there is a provision in the
control of the transfer gear box so that front wheel drive
may be disengaged
when not required
This type of drive is used in
military trucks, jeeps and special purpose vehicles
