<p>A crawler (14, 16) has a track connection system. The crawler (14, 16) includes a crawler frame (43); at least one drive tumbler (100) supported on the frame (43); a track (50) made of a plurality of track shoes (52) connected in series to produce a track (50) having a first end (181) and second end (182) that can be connected together to form the track (50) into an endless track. The track (50) is wrapped around the frame (43), with the first and second ends (181, 182) spaced apart but each adjacent a section of the frame (43). The track connection system is mounted to the frame (43) and includes a mover device connected to the frame (43); and a track engagement member (190) coupled between the mover device (156, 160) and the track (50); iii) whereby actuation of the mover device (156, 160) causes the track engagement member (190) to move the track (50) into a position where the first and second ends (181, 182) can be connected.</p> |
