Abstract
A hydraulically-operable locking differential includes a friction-pack arrangement for locking an output shaft and associated side gear with the differential housing, use being made of a piston-cylinder motor the axis of which is colinear with the output shaft. The advantage is afforded that the locking operation may be effected while the drive and output shafts are rotating without stopping the vehicle.
