Crawler bar of a crawler track
A crawler bar of a crawler track of a crawler vehicle is provided, including a linear bar base body and a cutting element. The cutting element contains a plurality of cutting element portions, each including a cutter-connecting member and a cutter. When installed, the crawler bar engages on a driving surface of the vehicle. The cutter-connecting member protrudes from and extends on the bar base body in a longitudinal extension of the bar base body. A main face of a first cutter-connecting member of a first cutting element portion lies in a plane (H1), a main face of a further cutter-connecting member of a further cutting element portion lies in a plane (H2), and the two planes (H1) and (H2) have a single intersection line (S)with each other.
TRACK SHOE OR TRACK PAD HAVING A WEAR MEMBER
A track shoe includes a base plate, a grouser extending from the base plate, and at least one white iron member. At least a portion of the grouser includes a substantially martensitic structure. The at least one white iron member is fixed to a portion of the grouser.

Ground-engaging track shoe having weight relief channel
A ground-engaging track shoe in a track joint assembly includes a shoe plate having bolt holes extending through a middle plate section between a planar link-bolting surface and a ground-contact surface. A weight relief channel is formed in the middle plate section upon a link-bolting side of the track shoe, and extends inwardly from the planar link-bolting surface. The weight relief channel is arranged between a forward bolt hole set of the bolt holes and a back bolt hole set of the bolt holes in a fore-aft direction.
Band track with fiber reinforced living hinges
A band track including a band having an inner surface, an outer surface, a first side face, and a second side face; a plurality of teeth extending from the inner surface and spaced apart circumferentially around the inner surface; a plurality of lugs extending from the outer surface and each spaced a distance apart circumferentially around the outer surface; a plurality of living hinges defined within the band circumferentially between each of the plurality of teeth; and at least one fiber-reinforcement disposed circumferentially within a neutral plane of the plurality of living hinges and a method of making the same.

Shrouds for grouser protectors in track shoes and grouser shroud inventory
A shroud for a track shoe grouser protector includes an elongate shroud body having weld holes formed in a first shroud leg and a second shroud leg attached to a base in the elongate shroud body. The shroud may have a fore to aft profile having the form of a flat-crowned arch with the shroud legs flared outward to form a grouser opening for positioning the shroud upon a track shoe grouser in a ground-engaging track system. An inventory of shrouds includes long shrouds and short shrouds positionable in a plurality of different assembly combinations to shield grousers in track shoes having a range of sizes.

TRACK LINK, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND TRACK ASSEMBLY
A track link is fixable to a track shoe with nuts and bolts. The track link comprises connecting holes that are spaced in a link pitch direction and receive connection members, first and second through holes that extend orthogonally to the connecting holes and receive bolts, a first surface in which the first through hole opens and on which a first nut is positionable, a second surface in which the second through hole opens and on which a second nut is positionable, first projecting portions that project from the first surface and face each other across the first through hole, and second projecting portions that project from the second surface and face each other across the second through hole. Only one of the first projecting portions engages the first nut. At least one of the second projecting portions engages the second nut that is positionable between the second projecting portions.
