Abstract
An undercarriage for farm wagons and similar vehicles in which the frame of the vehicle is mounted on one or more axles by units at each end of the axles, each unit consisting of plates connected to the axle, a plate connected to the frame and a member of elastomeric material bonded to the facing surfaces of the axle and frame plates to form the primary support at each end of the axle for the frame. The elastomeric material may be rubber and is preferably of a parallelogram shape in vertical cross sectional direction with the low vertical side being connected to the axle plate and the high vertical side being connected to the frame plate. Second axle and frame plates may be employed to which the first axle and frame plates are rigidly secured by bolts or other securing means. The units supporting the frame on the axle are preferably used in pairs in conjunction with tandem axles and, if brakes are used on one or both of the axles, a torsional bar means, including a resilient member, interconnects the two axles.
