A drive shaft connection comprises a) a first rotational member having a first flange with first and second surfaces and a perimeter; b) a second rotational member having a second flange with a surface frictionally engaging the first surface of the first flange; c) a compression member having a surface frictionally engaging the second surface of the first flange; and d) a connection system connecting the second flange and the compression member together outside the perimeter of the first flange such that they clamp the first flange between them with a clamping force producing the frictional engagement. A method of transmitting torque between a first member and a second member is also included, as is a method of assembling a drive shaft connection between first and second rotational members, a method of connecting first and second rotational members together to form a drive shaft for a piece of equipment, and a crawler vehicle utilizing the invention.
