Abstract
A support structure having an axle and a multi-linkage assembly including first and second linkages for connecting at least one support wheel assembly to a frame member of a track system is disclosed. The first and second linkages are connectable to the frame member and the axle, and cooperatively define an imaginary pivot, which defines a pivot axis about which the axle can pivot due to the multi-linkage assembly. A support structure having an axle, at least one resilient body, and frame and axle clamping assemblies is also disclosed. The at least one resilient body, connectable to the frame member and the axle by the frame and axle clamping assemblies, defines an imaginary pivot, which defines a pivot axis. The at least one resilient body is deformable such that the axle is pivotable about the pivot axis. Track systems having the support structures and resilient assemblies are also disclosed.
