An axle construction for the traction wheels of a vehicle, such as a tractor, includes a housing enclosing axle drive or transmission apparatus for driving the shafts to which the traction wheels are mounted and axle components including a pair of axially aligned shafts extending from and coupled to the drive apparatus and a pair of axle bed sleeves coupled to the housing accommodating respective shafts. The axle construction has a symmetrical configuration such that the axle components including the axle bed sleeves in which the shafts are accommodated are symmetrical with respect to both a central longitudinal vertical plane of the vehicle and to a transverse vertical plane passing through the axis of the shafts so that the axle components on both sides of the housing are identical and interchangeable. |
