A Design Study in Austempered Ductile Iron - Smith Foundry Drive Wheel

Drive Wheel -- Function

The left and right rubber tracks on the Toro Dingo TX 413 utility loader are each driven by a metal drive wheel, 12" in diameter. 
  • The two drive wheels transfer power from the 13 Horsepower Honda 4-cycle engine to the tracks of the loader. 

  • The wheels have to handle high torque loads, impact, fatigue, abrasion, and corrosion in many different field conditions across a wide range of temperatures.
