ABSTRACT:
A triangular track suspension system includes a drive sprocket, a track frame having idler wheels mounted on its ends, and a track draped about the drive sprocket and idler wheels. One of the idler wheels is mounted for fore and aft movement relative to the track frame. A take up mechanism is provided that moves the idler wheel in a forward direction as the track frame rocks to maintain a substantially constant circumference around the idler wheels and drive sprocket.
