A steering knuckle gearbox assembly () comprises a body having a housing portion () having a cavity defined in the housing portion (); a mating portion () connected to the housing portion () and being pivotably mountable an axle frame () of a vehicle; and a mounting portion () for having a steering link () of the vehicle pivotably mounted to the mounting portion (). An input shaft () is rotationally supported by the housing portion () and extends into the cavity at its one end and is operatively connectable to a drive axle () of the vehicle at its other end. An output shaft () is rotationally supported by the housing portion () and extends into the cavity at its one end and is operatively connected to the input shaft () at its other end. The output shaft () is offset in height from the input shaft (). A steerable track system for a vehicle is also described.

Steering knuckle gearbox assembly

A steerable track system usable with a vehicle that has a chassis, an axle frame extending laterally outwardly from the chassis and having an attachment portion at an end thereof to which the steerable track system is connectable, and a driven shaft extending laterally outwardly from the chassis suitable for driving the steerable track system. The steerable track system has a frame having a cavity defined therein and being operatively connectable to the axle frame so as to be pivotable about a steering axis for steering the track system, and a gear train with components disposed in the cavity. The gear train transmits driving forces from the driven shaft to a driven wheel assembly of a plurality of track-supporting wheel assemblies. An endless track extends around the track-supporting wheel assemblies and is drivable by the driven wheel assembly.

Steerable track system for vehicles

A steering knuckle to be used with the steering assembly of a vehicle such as a farming tractor is disclosed. The steering knuckle comprises preconfigured attachment areas where attachment element(s) or bracket(s) can be releasably yet rigidly secured. The attachment areas may be further reinforced with additional knuckle material (e.g. metal, metallic alloy). The steering knuckle therefore provides predetermined and preconfigured attachment location(s) where a wheel-replacing track system can be secured, thereby allowing the track system to be mounted to the vehicle while avoiding attachment at inconvenient or weak locations.
