ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A hubodometer having a casing supported solely by, and bal- anced on, its mounting bracket by a ring-like shock mount. Addition- ally, an odometer mechanism assembly is carried by, and balanced on, a drive-gear shaft located within the casing on the axis of rotation of the hubodometer. The casing is formed by two joined cup-like shells each having a circular flange integrally formed at a mouth of the shell and lying against the flange of the other shell to define an enclosed cavity. An elastic-like gasket is seated upon the joined flanges, and a rigid retainer ring is seated upon the gasket. The retainer ring is fitted tightly to a circular wall of the mounting bracket to nest the casing at least partially within a socket cavity defined by the mounting bracket. The elongated drive-gear shaft has its shaft extremities anchored to opposite bottoms of each casing shell. The generally balanced mounting of the casing solely on the shock mount, and the generally balanced mounting of the odometer mechanism assembly on a drive shaft that is supported at both ends, provides a durable and reliable hubodometer.
