ABSTRACT:
A track compensator for adjusting tension of an endless track on a track-laying vehicle and for absorbing changes in track tension during vehicle operation. A tension adjuster, connected to an idler wheel, adjusts the distance between a drive wheel, at one end of the track, and the idler wheel at the other end of the track. A shock absorber mounted between the vehicle and the tension adjuster absorbs stress on the track caused by debris between the track and vehicle wheels.
