Abstract
A strong, light-weight track shoe for use with a track-laying vehicle. The shoe includes a cast body portion having three bored lug segments spaced along the front of the shoe and a pair of bored lug segments spaced along the rear of the shoe. The cast body portion has a fin-like guide member for engagement with sprocket and bogey wheels. Pairs of reinforcing ribs extend lengthwise along the shoe which form the longitudinal sides of sprocket tooth engaging openings. A single grouser extends along the width of the shoe to reinforce the body portion and to provide traction between the shoe and ground as the vehicle moves along a terrain. The grouser member and the rear lugs form the leading sides and the trailing sides of the sprocket tooth openings, respectively.
