A track assembly having first and second hub assemblies that are
operatively connected to a support frame by first and second attachment
members, respectively. The first and second attachment members include
resilient or movable mounts that are configured so that the track
assembly can be attached to vehicles whose axles or wheel flanges are
misaligned or have irregular rotational movement such as runout or
wobble. The attachment members may be adjustably positioned relative to
the support frame to accommodate vehicles having different wheelbase
lengths and axle lengths. An endless track encircles the first and second
hub assemblies, and the support frame, and is drivingly engaged by one of
the hub assemblies. First and second rollers, which define the
longitudinal extent of the endless track, are positioned at either end of
the support frame. A tensioning member, with at least one upper idler
roller, positions the endless track so that it is spaced from one of the
hub assemblies in a spaced relation. The track assembly increases
traction and stability by providing a vehicle with an independent front
suspension, a larger footprint, and a longer wheelbase. In use, each
track assembly is bolted onto wheel flanges of a vehicle using existing
wheel lugs and nuts.
