In some examples, a shoe pad for a grouser of a vehicle track defines a slot configured to receive a bracket that is configured to attach the shoe pad to a grouser. For example, a first arm of a bracket may be inserted into the slot and a second arm of the bracket may be configured to contact an interior side of a grouser of a vehicle track to attach the shoe pad to the grouser. In some examples, the shoe pad and the bracket may be held to the grouser with the aid of a bolt, which bolt may not extend through the grouser, but, rather, may merely engage with an exterior side of the grouser. In this way, the shoe pad may be able to be attached to a grouser without requiring one or more holes to be present in the grouser, while still providing a relatively tight fit with the grouser the shoe pad is configured to cover.

A device for attaching a crawler track member of a crawler track to a crawler belt of the crawler track having a press-in element and a connection element, wherein the press-in element comprises a main body having a continuous opening, wherein when the press-in element is arranged on the crawler belt, the connection element for connecting the crawler track member to the crawler belt engages through the continuous opening. The device is characterized in that the press-in element comprises multiple holding elements projecting from the main body, wherein the holding elements are configured in such a manner that when they are arranged on the crawler belt they penetrate multiple material layers of the crawler belt, in that the holding elements displace material of the material layers, in particular transversely to the penetration direction.

A track joint assembly includes adjacent first and second track links each having an elongate link body with an upper rail surface located in part upon first and second link body ends and in part upon a middle section of the link. The upper rail surface forms part of a track rail having a segment formed by each of the middle sections of the elongate link bodies of the first and second track links and a compound segment formed by the two adjacent track links. The upper rail surface is formed of a sacrificial wear material that has a varying cross-sectional area structured to limit scalloping of the track links.

A track shoe assembly includes a pad portion, and a grouser that extends from the pad portion along a direction that is perpendicular to the pad portion, terminating at a free end. A first cap is attached to the grouser, at least partially covering the free end of the grouser. The cap comprises a wear resistant material such as a white iron material or a carbide material.

A drive component is disclosed. The drive component may include a base of a first material having a first hardness and a plurality of wear inserts of a second material having a second hardness greater than the first hardness. The plurality of wear inserts may extend from an interior of the base to an exterior surface of the base. The base and the plurality of wear inserts may be a composite casting.

A traction device for an elastomeric track comprises a first bracket comprising a first portion comprising a tapered surface and a second portion configured to be removably coupled to the first portion to define a U-shaped channel configured to receive at least a portion of an elastomeric track, a first chain coupled to the first bracket at a first end of the first chain, a second bracket coupled to a second end of first chain opposite the first bracket, and a plate coupled to the first chain between the first bracket and the second bracket, the plate configured to substantially prevent the first chain from entering the recesses of the elastomeric track. Related traction devices and methods of attaching a traction device to an elastomeric track are also disclosed.
