System and multicomponent apparatus for removing and installing a continuous track on a tracked vehicle
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a system and multicomponent apparatus for removing and installing a continuous track on a power machine or work vehicle. The system includes a support and biasing apparatus, an arcuate positioning component, a decoupling component, and interconnecting elements. The interacting apparatus and components include contact surfaces that bear against the continuous track surfaces to transfer and/or apply a series of forces, each force in the series comprising at least one of an upward, forward, or lateral force, or combinations thereof, to remove the track from or urge and install a replacement track into proper alignment and captive engagement with front idler and sprocket wheels of a continuous track vehicle wheel assembly. Removal and installation of continuous tracks is hereby achieved in a fraction of the time and with substantially less manpower than previously proposed solutions and methods.
