An adjustment device for a track assembly of a track laying vehicle, comprising a wheel carriage for mounting a wheel of the track assembly thereto, a coupling assembly operatively connected to or forming part of the wheel carriage for permitting at least limited rotational movement of the wheel about a tilt axis, and a releasable locking assembly for releasably holding the wheel against the rotational movement, in a selected angular disposition relative to the tilt axis. There is also provided a suspension assembly for a track laying vehicle, comprising a support member operatively connected to the vehicle body for pivotal movement about a transversely extending first pivot axis and a coupling member operatively interconnecting one of the wheels of the vehicle and the support member the coupling member being pivotally mounted for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis.
An adjustment device for a track assembly of a track laying vehicle, the track laying vehicle comprising a vehicle body having a longitudinal axis extending between forward and rearward ends thereof and a pair of track assemblies each disposed on respective opposite sides of the vehicle body, each assembly comprising first and second wheels which are spaced apart in the direction of the longitudinal axis with at least one of the wheels defining a drive wheel, and each having a continuous belt associated with the wheels thereof, the device comprising wheel carriage means for mounting a wheel of the track assembly thereto, coupling means operatively connected to or forming part of the wheel carriage means for permitting at least limited rotational movement of the wheel about a tilt axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, and releasable locking means for releasably holding the wheel against the rotational movement, in a selected angular disposition relative to the tilt axis.
A suspension assembly for a track laying vehicle having a vehicle body with a first end portion and a second end portion, the assembly comprising a support member operatively connected to the vehicle body for pivotal movement about a transversely extending first pivot axis, the support member comprises an arm operatively connected to the vehicle body for pivotal movement about the first pivot axis, said the support arm being pivotally connected to the vehicle body at the first end portion;
