    Abstract: A transfer device of a vehicle is provided, in which an auxiliary-drive-wheel output shaft extending in parallel with a main-drive-wheel output shaft is connected to a propeller shaft having a universal joint. An end part of the auxiliary-drive-wheel output shaft on a propeller shaft side is formed in a hollow shape and includes a fitting part configured to be spline-engaged with a joint part provided to the universal joint. The joint part is provided with a centering part which is inserted into a centering hole formed in a flange part provided to one side of the auxiliary-drive-wheel output shaft so that the joint part is centered on the auxiliary-drive-wheel output shaft. The flange part is sandwiched between a spacer and the joint part, and a bolt member is attached to a bolt hole formed in the centering part so that the propeller shaft is assembled to the auxiliary-drive-wheel output shaft.
