Diesel engine (3) is the source of the mechanical power. Power flows from diesel engine (3) to tracks (8) through the power train.
Diesel engine (3) transfers power from the engine flywheel to torque converter (7).
Torque converter (7) transfers power through the torque converter turbine to main drive shaft (6).
Main drive shaft (6) transfers power to transmission (4). Transmission (4) has three speeds in the FORWARD position and three speeds in the REVERSE position.
If the machine is equipped with Multi-Velocity Program (MVP), The machine has five speed ranges in the forward direction and five speed ranges in the reverse direction. The speed ranges are available at the full throttle position and at the partial throttle position.
The speed clutches and the direction clutches of the transmission are electronically controlled. The clutches engage in order to transfer power. The power output from transmission (4) turns transfer and bevel gears (5).
Transfer and bevel gears (5) turn the inner axle shaft. The inner axle shaft sends power to the steering differential and brake (9). The inner axle shaft sends power to the planetary gears and brake (1).
The steering differential is used to turn the machine. The brakes are used to stop the machine. The steering differential and brake (9) works with the planetary gears and brake (1) in order to send power through the two outer axle shafts to final drives (2).
Final drives (2) use one planetary gear arrangement for single speed reduction. The planetary gears increase the torque. The sprockets on the final drives transfer mechanical power to tracks (8) that move the machine.
