Abstract
The vehicle drive transmitting mechanism for a track laying vehicle has a coupling between the transmission output shaft and the final drive input. This coupling is disengageable from the transmission output shaft to permit vehicle towing or transmission removal. The coupling is movable from the drive connecting position to two other positions so that during towing, a neutral condition is attained and during transmission removal, a locking arrangement at the final drive is attained.
