ABSTRACT:
A track-laying tractor drive track is composed of a plurality of sections which each include a link and a grouser bolted together in sandwiching relationship to a pair of side-by-side disposed flexors, the bolts passing through holes provided adjacent the ends of the flexors. The flexors are generally flat rectangular members and the link and grouser have generally flat mounting surfaces which engage the opposite sides of the flexors adjacent their ends. A given flexor may be replaced by removing the bolts associated therewith and by then dislodging the flexor sideways from between the link and grouser. The neighboring flexor to the one removed keeps the track held together so that replacement may be accomplished without the need of tools to hold the track together.
