ABSTRACT:
A crawler drive system having an endless track is disclosed in which each track sprocket has a double row of teeth and each track shoe has a double row of lugs. The two lugs on each shoe, which lie in different rows, are spaced in the longitudinal direction a greater distance than adjacent teeth of the sprocket so that only one lug of a shoe is engaged by a sprocket tooth at any instant. The two lugs of successive shoes are spaced longitudinally a lesser distance than the pairs of teeth of the sprocket so that only a single lug of a single shoe is engaged by a sprocket tooth at any time.
