A track block for a track-laying vehicle. The block is characterized by an elongated unitary beam, with two diverging links extending radially in a common direction from opposite ends of the beam. The links are constructed to straddle, and to be hinged to, the beam in an adjacent block. Cantilevered from a central portion of the beam, and extending generally in the same direction as and coplanar with the links, is a road-wheel bearing plate, through which received road-wheel bearing forces are carried directly to the links solely through the beam.

A track block for a track-laying vehicle coupleable with other like blocks to form an endless track strand, said block comprising a straddled-connection portion in the form of a unitary beam extending transversely relative to the block\s intended travel axis, a pair of straddling-connection link portions integral with and joined to opposite ends of said beam and extending therefrom in a common direction generally paralleling said travel axis, said link portions being adapted to receive and straddle such a beam in an adjacent block, and platform-like road-wheel bearing means integral with and joined only to said beam, and extending therefrom in a cantilevered fashion generally in the same direction as said link portions, said bearing means being adapted to transmit received road-wheel bearing forces directly to said link portions solely through said beam.
