ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (10) for retaining a joint (12) of an endless track (14) for a crawler-type vehicle is provided which includes a metal preform (64,66) which is pressed into a retainer cavity (60,62) surrounding and located at each of the ends of the joint (12) of the track (14). The cavities (60,62) are cooperatively formed by a pin groove (70) in the opposite end portions (40,42) of the pin (20) and a link socket (72) in the respective link outboard end portions (26,27) and which are disposed in registry with the pin grooves (70). Once intruded into the cavities (60,62), the formed-in-place retainers (64,66) thereby provided virtually eliminate any end play in the joint (12) during operation of the crawler vehicle.
