Abstract
A drive assembly has two bevel gear angle drives (9, 10) for driving an agricultural implement (2) via a tractor power take-off shaft. The assembly has a pivot bearing (11) which effects a pivotable connection between the two bevel gear angle drives (9, 10). To improve the bearing conditions between the two bevel gear angle drives (9, 10) the two housings (22, 23) of the bevel gear angle drives (9, 10) are provided with bearing sleeves (24, 25). The bearing sleeves (24, 25), in the fitted condition, project into the interior (34) of a housing (23), to reduce the axial distance between the two connecting journals (13, 16) associated with the bevel gears (41, 43) which engage the bevel gears (49, 57) arranged on the connecting shaft (67), thus improving the force receiving conditions.
