Keeper Inspection

Depending on the track, there are either metal or plastic keepers. These mount throughout the track and are

used to guide the tracks over the tires. Each keeper “B” washer “C” and mounting bolts “D” should be inspected

for any cracks, bends, broken or even missing (Figure-3, 4).

Lacing Inspection

The pieces that hold the ends of the track together are the lacing “E”. Each one should be ﬁrmly mounted to the

tracks with no signs of tearing or separating. Lacing must not be bent or deformed in any way. Rubber tracks

should have good condition cables “F” and locking collars “G”, while hybrid style the bolts “H” (Figure-5, 6).

Tracks

Various styles of tracks may be installed on the Mudd-Ox Vengeance. Although different, the basic components

are relatively similar in design and function.

Signs of Improper Components

• Tracks come off the tires

• Tracks slip around the tires

Rubber Inspection

Each piece of rubber extends the entire length of the tracks (A in Figure-1, 2). It should not have any cracks, rips

or tears. Tracks exposed to UV light are at higher risk of cracking in a shorter timeframe. If applicable, rubber

tread depth should be at least 1/8”. Note: As the rubber wears down, the bolts will begin to contact the ground.
