Abstract
A flexible belt assembly for the endless track of an off-road vehicle reinforced by longitudinal cables vulcanized within a rubberlike cover. A grouser clamping plate is similarly vulcanized into the cover, with laterally extending ends to which the grousers are bolted, so that no cleat mounting holes are required through the flexible belt itself, excluding all water and ice from the interior of the belt to increase its longevity. The belt construction is energy efficient in that it is of increased flexibility over previous fabric reinforced belt designs.
