ABSTRACT:
A track support for supporting a flexible continuous loop track when it is being removed or installed on a vehicle. Removing or installing the continuous loop flexible track by conventional methods is very difficult because of its weight and flexibility. The subject apparatus includes a track support having first and second ends with curved plates approximately the shape of semi-circular ends of the track loop where it engages wheels on a vehicle. The first and second ends are supported by at least one beam attached thereto in a manner to adjustably set the track support snug with the flexible track loop. Several retainers with hooks and fasteners secure the track to the support. Thereby the flexible track is held in an oval shape when being removed or installed on the vehicle similar to the shape it is when on the vehicle.
