Track assembly for a towed vehicle
A track system for use with a towed vehicle has an attachment assembly and a multi-member frame assembly. The multi-member frame assembly includes a primary frame member connected to the attachment assembly, at least one wheel-bearing frame member pivotably connected to the primary frame member about a pivot located within a recess, and at least one resilient bushing assembly located within the recess and engaging the pivot. The at least one bushing assembly is resiliently deformable in a circumferential direction to permit pivoting of the pivot with respect to the recess, and is fixedly connected within the recess to resiliently bias the pivot towards a rest position with respect to the recess. The track system further includes leading and trailing idler wheel assemblies rotatably connected to the at least one wheel-bearing frame member, and an endless track.
Additional wheel weight for a utility vehicle
An additional wheel weight for a utility vehicle includes a weight plate and a retention member configured to be fitted to a wheel and on which the weight plate is guided in a longitudinally axial manner. A clamping lever closure is disposed between the weight plate and retention member. A first assembly element of the clamping lever closure is coupled to the retention member, a second assembly element of the clamping lever closure engages the weight plate in a longitudinally axial manner, and a lever mechanism is disposed between the first and second assembly elements. The lever mechanism includes a clamping element being releasably secured to the first assembly element and an actuation lever being articulated between the second assembly element and the clamping element.

ADDITIONAL WHEEL WEIGHT FOR A UTILITY VEHICLE
An additional wheel weight for a utility vehicle includes a weight plate and a retention member configured to be fitted to a wheel rim and on which the weight plate is guided in a longitudinally axial manner. A clamping lever closure is disposed between the weight plate and retention member. A first assembly element of the clamping lever closure is coupled to the retention member, a second assembly element of the clamping lever closure engages the weight plate in a longitudinally axial manner, and a lever mechanism is disposed between the first and second assembly elements.
