Abstract: A retaining strip arranged to impede the rotation of a stop screw is disclosed. The retaining strip connects with the stop screw on both sides of an attachment bracket. The retaining strip is stretched over the bracket and applies a pressure to the screw that serves to maintain screw rotational position during vehicle operation. The retaining strip does not hamper the adjustment of the screw during adjustment.

Abstract: A track tensioning assembly for a track laying vehicle. The track tensioning assembly includes an idler plate assembly coupled to a hydraulic actuator at a first end and coupled to a front idler assembly at a second end. The hydraulic actuator is configured to apply a pressure on the front idler assembly with the idler plate assembly to achieve a desired tautness. The track tensioning assembly also includes a removable cross pin positioned to prevent loosening of track while in a first location or configured to allow removal of tracks while in a second location.

Abstract: A sensor for sensing the rotation of an output shaft of a motor used for driving a vehicle includes a disc on the output shaft that carries magnets facing toward a motor carrier and the motor. The motor carrier has an annular recess open on a side facing away from the motor, and a Hall effect sensor is placed in this recess and held with a T-shaped bracket having a tang that supports the Hall effect sensor partially in this annular recess for protecting it and positioning it adjacent the magnets on the disc.

Abstract: A chain tensioner for a track of a track vehicle that has a track tensioning assembly including a compression spring mounted on to a shaft. The spring is captured between a pair of retainers, the outer end one of which is mounted to permit limited sliding movement of the spring during use. The limited sliding movement is provided by one of the retainers comprising a sliding block that is supported in position with a pair of cross pins that pass through cross recesses on opposite sides of the shaft to hold the block while permitting axial movement of the block between desired limits in longitudinal direction. The cross pins also to retain the block against rotation about the central axis of the shaft. The block will slide easily, and when used with hardened parts gets long wear life as well as maintaining a tension in the track as it moves.
