on the end of the transmission shaft and runs in constant mesh with two bevel gears mounted on a cross-shaft through the
transmission case. A constant mesh change of gear ratio provides high and low speed in both forward and reverse gears.
All transmission shafts are machined from special alloy steel, heat treated, and mounted on anti-friction bearings. Gears,
shafts, and bearings operate constantly in an oil bath. The first countershaft outboard bearing is a self-alining, double-row
ball bearing with its housing secured to the side member of the road roller frame. The entire transmission is enclosed and
protected from dust and grit.
