Abstract
An endless track drive sprocket system for reducing slippage between a drive sprocket and an endless track. The endless track drive sprocket system includes a main body having a generally circular structure, a plurality of first flat portions within an outer perimeter of the main body, a plurality of second flat portions within the outer perimeter of the main body positioned between the first flat portions at an angle, and a first engaging member and a second engaging member extending outwardly from the main body adjacent to the second flat portions. The intersection of the first flat portions and the second flat portions creates a pressure ridge for reducing the chance of the engaging members slipping upon the lugs of the endless track.
