A drive train (10, fig 1), for a tracked vehicle, comprises a transmission (11) having a transmission output shaft (13) which is selectively engaged with a least one final drive assembly 12 via a final drive input shaft 17. A rotatable location shaft 26 is mounted for axial movement within a bore in the final drive assembly and is coupled with the input shaft 17. Manual rotation of a screw member 25 rotates location shaft 26 so that it moves in an axial direction, which moves the input shaft 17 axially into or out of engagement with the output shaft (13). The screw member 25 has a threaded portion 48 which engages with a threaded portion in an axial bore 29. A tool such as a spanner cooperates with a head portion 51 and may be used to rotate the screw member 25 which is rigidly attached to the location shaft 26. Attached to the screw member 25 is a flanged portion 47 which abuts a housing when the input shaft 17 is fully engaged with the output shaft 13.
