Abstract

See full text

A tractor having a steerable axle that pivotally moves laterally in response to a corresponding steering action of the steerable wheels mounted on the steerable axle is disclosed wherein tie rods interconnect a detachable plate carried by the chassis along its centerline with the respective steerable wheels so that the pivotal movement of the steerable wheels effects a corresponding lateral shifting of the steerable axle relative to the chassis. The tie rods are connected to the detachable plate at chassis pivot points spaced, respectively, from the longitudinal centerline of the chassis so that the distance between the connection points between the steerable wheels and the respective tie rods decreases as the steerable axle shifts laterally to correct oversteering of the steerable wheels.
