Abstract: A track system includes a primary wheel structured to be rotationally attachable to a vehicle, a frame rotationally supporting a plurality of secondary wheels; a sub-frame supported by the frame. The sub-frame rotationally supports the primary wheel. The primary wheel and the plurality of secondary wheels support an endless track thereabout. A fastener secures the frame to the sub-frame and prevents pivoting of the frame relative to the sub-frame about the pivot axis. The fastener is disengageable. The frame is pivotable relative to the sub-frame about the pivot axis when the fastener is disengaged. The fastener is re-engageable to secure the frame to the sub-frame in any one of a plurality of different adjustment positions. In some implementations, a pivot member extends in a vertical direction between the sub-frame and the frame and defines a pivot axis of the frame.

Abstract: A track system for use with a vehicle includes an attachment assembly connectable to the chassis of the vehicle having a first pivot extending vertically and defining a yaw pivot axis of the track system, and a second pivot extending laterally and defining a pitch pivot axis of the track system. A frame assembly is disposed laterally outwardly from the attachment assembly and connected thereto. The frame assembly includes at least one wheel-bearing frame member. The track system further includes at least one actuator connected between the attachment assembly and the frame assembly for pivoting the frame assembly about the yaw pivot axis, a leading idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, a trailing idler wheel assembly at least indirectly connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, at least one support wheel assembly, and an endless track.

Abstract: A steering knuckle gearbox assembly (138) comprises a body having a housing portion (140) having a cavity defined in the housing portion (140); a mating portion (142) connected to the housing portion (140) and being pivotably mountable an axle frame (106a) of a vehicle; and a mounting portion (144) for having a steering link (90) of the vehicle pivotably mounted to the mounting portion (144). An input shaft (176) is rotationally supported by the housing portion (140) and extends into the cavity at its one end and is operatively connectable to a drive axle (94) of the vehicle at its other end. An output shaft (187) is rotationally supported by the housing portion (140) and extends into the cavity at its one end and is operatively connected to the input shaft (176) at its other end. The output shaft (187) is offset in height from the input shaft (176). A steerable track system for a vehicle is also described.
