ABSTRACT:
A tool (12) for mounting a track assembly (11) on a track-type vehicle comprises first (18) and second (39) attachments for being interconnected between a drive sprocket (10) and the track assembly (11). A flexible connector (35) has its ends attached to the first attachment (18) and is further attached to the second attachment (39). In carrying forth the method, the sprocket (10) is rotated to dispose the free ends of the track assembly (11) adjacent to each other for connection by a master link (16) or pin (42). The tool and method provide for the expeditious and safe mounting of the track assembly (11) on the vehicle, including smaller-sized ones.
