A method is described for modifying a transfer case for a plurality of outputs, which are connected to a common drivetrain via intermediate gear wheels (3, 4), whose bearing housing (7) receives the axially removable wheel axles (6), the individual outputs being decoupled from the common drivetrain and being connected to individual drives. To provide simple modification conditions, it is proposed that the wheel axle (6) of at least one intermediate gear wheel (3, 4) in the drive connection between the respective output and the common drivetrain be replaced by an adjusting axle (8), which is preferably eccentrically mounted in bearing covers (11) via eccentric frontal journals (10), before the intermediate gear wheel (3, 4) is pivoted out of engagement by rotating the adjusting axle (8) around the frontal journals (10).
A method for modifying a transfer case for a plurality of outputs, which are connected to a common drivetrain via intermediate gear wheels, each intermediate gear wheel having a bearing housing that receives an axially removable wheel axle, individual outputs being decoupled from the common drivetrain and being connected to individual drives, wherein the wheel axle of at least one intermediate gear wheel in the drive connection between the respective output and the common drivetrain is replaced by an adjusting axle, which is preferably eccentrically mounted in bearing covers via eccentric frontal journals, before the intermediate gear wheel is pivoted out of engagement by rotating the adjusting axle around the frontal journals.
An installation set for modifying a transfer case for a plurality of outputs, which are connected to a common drivetrain via intermediate gear wheels, whose bearing housing receives axially removable wheel axles, comprising an adjusting axle, which replaces a wheel axle of at least one intermediate gear wheel in the drive connection between the respective output and the common drivetrain, and which is mounted so the adjusting axle is eccentrically adjustable in bearing covers of the bearing housing via eccentric frontal journals, wherein the at least one intermediate gear wheel is movable between an engagement position and an out-of-engagement position using the eccentrically mounted adjusting axle.
