Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention discloses a speed reducer or multiplier for use in a motor grader. The unique structure of the reducer allows the device to be easily inserted in the drive train of a grader and thereby improve the feasible ground speeds at which the grader can operate satisfactorily. The structure further allows the speed of the planetary reduction system to remain idle when not in use. Thereby increasing the efficiency and decreasing problems such as wear. This is accomplished by a shifting mechanism which causes at least two gears to be engaged or disengaged.
