Track Pin and Bushing Retention Design for a Track Chain
A track chain member may comprise a shoe member, and a first rail member extending from the shoe member. The first rail member may include a first lug defining a first bore defining a first longitudinal axis and including a first bushing retention shelf disposed in the first bore, a second lug including a second bushing retention shelf disposed in the second bore. A third lug may extend in a direction opposite that of the first lug and second lug and may be disposed axially between the first lug and the second lug.
Continuous Track Pieces and Associated Methods
A track piece for a continuous track is disclosed. The track piece is rotationally asymmetric and comprises connectors which enable connection to an adjacent track piece of the same shape which has been rotated 180. This may allow a track to be produced with multiple similarly shaped track pieces which has multiple track surfaces. This may also allow for a continuous track to be produced with a number of track pieces connected along a central band, wherein the track comprises spaced apart lateral track piece projections.

Vehicle Urging System
A vehicle urging system for inhibiting a vehicle from becoming high centered includes a vehicle that has a plurality of wheels and a bottom side. A track unit is coupled to the bottom side of the vehicle. The track unit engages an object that would otherwise high center the vehicle, such as a rock or the like. The track unit selectively rotates in a first direction to urge the vehicle along the object until the vehicle is clear of the object.
IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO TRACK APPARATUS
A link member for a continuous track system comprising two side members, and two pin members, wherein the two side members oppose each other and are joined by the two pin members, and wherein the pin members are longitudinal members having a lateral cross section with a single axis of symmetry.

Track link structure and pin joint assembly
A track link includes a link body having first and second sides, a rail surface, a shoe engaging surface, and first and second end portions. A link pin bore at the first end portion is configured to receive a link pin. A bushing bore at the second end portion is configured to receive a bushing. A link pin boss is located at the first end portion on the first side and surrounds the link pin bore. A bushing boss is located at the second end portion on the second side and surrounds the bushing bore.

Anti-skid chain having laterally stable guiding chains
The invention relates to an anti-skid chain, in particular for forestry and agricultural vehicles. The anti-skid chain is to permit high traction, while it has a low weight and can be easily mounted. It should simultaneously be permitted for driving on roads. To enable this, an anti-skid chain to be attached to two wheels with tires disposed one behind the other at fixed distances, in particular for the two wheels of a tandem axle, is provided according to the invention. The anti-skid chain comprises two lateral, laterally stable guide chains which are located, in the mounted state, laterally of the tread of the tires. Between the two guide chains, a chain mesh with chain strands extends. Preferably, the chain mesh is subdivided into ladder sections which are only connected to each other via the guide chain. Joint points of the guide chains are located in a radial position between the radius of the tire shoulder and the tire center. The guide chains are in particular embodied as plate link chains.
