The world has immersed interest and investment in the automobile industry which affects their industries agreat deal. Also, they are focusing on the development of vehicles with improve performance, increased stability, andenhanced driver pleasure. Due to their higher loading capacity, solid axles are typically used in the heavy commercialvehicles. A premature failure that occurs prior to the expected load cycles during life of rear axle shaft is studied. Duringthe service life, dynamic forces caused by the road surface roughness produce dynamic stresses and these force lead tofatigue failure of axle shaft and its housing, which is the main load carrying part of the assembly.Tractor, An off-road vehicle is considered to be any type of vehicle which is capable of driving on and off pavedor gravel surface. Off road condition includes uneven agricultural field surfaces and bumpy village roads on which thetractor has to operate. These ground irregularities leads to unexpected loads coming on the tractor components. Thus itis important to analyze rear axle of tractor so that we can solve problems regarding breakdowns and failures duringfield operations. In Present work finite element analysis approach is used to modify existing rear axle of tractor.
