ABSTRACT:
A land mine resistant road wheel and track assembly for tracked vehicles which each road wheel includes a center hub surrounded by a plurality of fiberglass support rings whch are, in turn, surrounded by a fiberglass rim member. The entire road wheel is encapsulated in polyurethane which fills the spaces within and between the support rings, but which does not extend into the center hub or into bores aligned with the openings of the support rings, which bores receive mounting bolts for the road wheel. The road wheels are utilized singly and are received in circular grooves formed in the shoes which form the track. The shoes which form the track are made of fiberglass which is molded around a steel yoke. Each steel yoke is provided with a pair of key slots therethrough, each slot of which receives a link that rotates ninety degrees in order to lock in the key slot. Steel pins are utilized to join the links together and, thus, assemble the flexible endless track for use with a plurality of the aforedescribed road wheels.
