摘要： An apparatus or tool for installing a continuous loop of track onto the idler wheel or sprocket of a tracked vehicle, including a pair of track grippers configured and operable for gripping at least opposite edges of a portion of the track to be installed over the idler wheel or sprocket, and shaping the portion of the track into an arc of appropriate size for passage laterally over the idler wheel or sprocket, each of the grippers having a rigid, generally arcuate or angular shape suitable for gripping the opposite edges of the portion of the track portion for forming and holding it in an arc; and arms that support and hold the grippers in a generally parallel, spaced apart relation such that the gripping element or elements of the respective grippers are in opposing relation and are spaced a distance apart corresponding about to the width of the track, so as to be capable of capturing or bounding the portion of the track to be installed onto the idler, and for positioning the gripping element or elements for supporting and holding the track in the arc shape, and apparatus configured and operable for spreading the grippers apart for receiving the track therebetween.
