Abstract
An endplay control gusset for use in a tractor track structure (11) or the like wherein a shoe (13) is secured to a pair of spaced links (14,15) having pins (32) extending therebetween and supporting rollers (33) for engaging the sprockets (12) of the tractor (10). The gussets (24,25) are secured to the shoes outboard of the links and engage the outer faces (26,27) of the links so as to effectively prevent outward deflection of the links. The shoes may be secured to the links by bolts (16,17). The gussets may be formed integrally with the shoes or may be secured thereto as by welding (29), as desired. The links may define annular bosses (30,31) receiving the ends (32a) of the pins and the gussets may engage the bosses at a position spaced substantially from the shoe.
