A crawler vehicle undercarriage which comprises a first cylindrical track frame pivotally mounted to a vehicle frame and a second cylindrical track frame telescopically received within the first track frame. An idler is pivotally and rotatably mounted through a cushion pad to a forward end of the second track frame while a drive sprocket is mounted to a drive shaft. A track chain encompasses the idler and the drive sprocket and is in driven engagement with the drive sprocket. A recoil spring is interposed between the first and second track frames for urging the idler away from the sprocket to maintain track tension. First and second crank members are pivotally mounted to the first track frame with a common pivot axis. A bogie is pivotally mounted to the respective crank members and a pair of track rollers are pivotally mounted to each bogie, the track rollers engaging the track chain.

An undercarriage for a crawler vehicle having a vehicle frame and a drive shaft, comprising: a first cylindrical track frame pivotally mounted to said vehicle frame; a second cylindrical track frame telescopically received within said first track frame; an idler pivotally and rotatably mounted to one end of said second cylindrical track frame; an idler cushion pad disposed between said second track frame and said idler; a sprocket mounted to said drive shaft; a track chain encompassing said idler and said sprocket and in driven engagement with said sprocket; recoil means interposed between said first and second track frames for urging said idler away from said sprocket to maintain track tension; a first crank member having a first and second end with the first end being pivotally mounted to said first track frame; a second crank member having a first and second end with the first end being pivotally mounted to said first track frame, said second crank member sharing a common pivot axis with said first crank member; roller means mounted to the second end of said first and second crank members and in engagement with said track chain, each of said roller means comprising a bogie pivotally mounted to the second end of any one of said first and second crank members, and track rollers rotatably mounted to said bogie and engaging said track chain; cushion pads interposed between said first track frame and said first and second crank members, respectively; and said second end of each of said first and said second crank members each being bifurcated transversely with respect to said vehicle frame and having a first and second side wall; said undercarriage further comprises a first stop attached to each of said first side walls and extending downwardly therefrom and a second stop attached to each of said second side walls and extending downwardly therefrom, said first and second stops being disposed opposite said track chain for preventing said track chain from coming off said track rollers.
