Abstract: A tracked vehicle including a frame. A front track is rotatably attached to front track mounting member(s) connected to the frame with suspension member(s) so as to be movable in a vertical direction in relation to the frame. A vertically extending tubular steering shaft is attached to the front track unit. The steering shaft rotates the front track to steer the tracked vehicle. The steering shaft is connected to the frame with steering shaft mounting member(s) so as to be movable in a vertical direction in relation to the frame. A first gear is provided on the front track and a second gear is provided on the frame. The first gear and the second gear transmit driving power from the frame to the front track. An intermediate shaft extends through the tubular steering shaft from the first gear to the second gear for transmitting the driving power therebetween.
