Abstract
An axle case, housing therein axles and a transmission for driving the axle, provided with a mount boss for being mounted to case mounting portions provided on a body frame of a vehicle and having insertion bores for mounting bolts, and including vibration isolating members which are each fixedly positioned on each mount boss and are provided with a portion positioned thereon and a portion extending into the insertion bore, so that, when the mount boss is coupled with the case mounting portion, the portion of the vibration isolating member positioned on the mount boss contacts with the case mounting portion. Thus, the axle case and body frame can be simply coupled with each other by using the vibration isolating members. The axle case is preferably divided vertically into an upper and a lower portion through a horizontal joint surface. When the axle case is molded, the insertion bores for the mounting bolts for mounting the mount boss can simultaneously be cast into the axle case, whereby there is no need for machining the axle case after it is molded.
