A tread assembly has front and rear main idler wheels supported by a frame. A continuous tread is provided around the idler wheels for supporting a cart on a bottom portion of the tread between the front and rear main idler wheels. An assembly is provided to permit the front idler wheels to pivot laterally as the cart encounters uneven ground, in order to improve weight distribution across the tread and the idler wheels. The rear idler wheel also has an assembly to permit the rear idler wheel to pivot laterally. An alignment feature is incorporated into the front idler wheel assembly to permit adjustment of the alignment of the front idler wheel relative to the rear idler wheel. A tensioning mechanism is provided at the rear idler wheel to maintain the tread in tension. A pivot is provided between the frame and the rear idler wheel, and located forward from the hub of the idler wheel, such that increased load on the frame tends to push the idler wheel rearward to further tension the tread.

I claim: 1. A track assembly comprising: a frame; a first pivot assembly operably connected to the frame; a second pivot assembly operably connected to the frame; a shaft linking the first and second pivot assemblies; a first elongated spindle connected to said second pivot assembly to pivot on a first roll axis; a third pivot assembly operably connected to the frame; a second elongated spindle connected to said third pivot assembly to pivot on a second roll axis independent of said first roll axis; a first idler wheel rotatably mounted to said first elongated spindle; a second idler wheel rotatably mounted to said second elongated spindle; and a continuous track provided around said first and second idler wheels, said continuous track having a tread portion formed by a lower span of said continuous track. 2. A cart comprising two of the track assemblies of claim 1. 3. The track assembly of claim 1, wherein said first spindle is provided with an alignment mechanism for selectively varying an alignment of said first idler wheel. 4. The track assembly of claim 3, wherein said alignment mechanism includes a means for securing said first idler wheel in place once properly aligned. 5. The track assembly as recited in claim 4, wherein said alignment mechanism comprises an alignment bracket attached to said first spindle at one end and attached to an adjustment mechanism at an opposite end. 6. The track assembly as recited in claim 5, wherein said adjustment mechanism comprises an eccentric bushing mounted to said frame, and a socket joint mounted to said eccentric bushing. 7. The track assembly as recited in claim 5, further comprising a rotatable joint between said alignment bracket and said adjustment mechanism to permit tilting of said first elongated spindle. 8. A track assembly comprising: a frame having a first end and a second end; a first idler wheel operably associated with said frame at said first end of said frame; a link pivotally connected at said second end of said frame at a pivot member to pivot in a generally vertical plane about a pivot axis defined by said pivot member, an imaginary dividing plane being defined by a vertical extension of said pivot axis; a second idler wheel operably provided on said link; a tensioning device between said frame and said link to maintain an axis of said second idler wheel below said pivot member and on a side of said imaginary dividing plane opposite from said first idler wheel; and a continuous track provided around said first and second idler wheels, said continuous track having a tread portion formed by a lower span of said continuous track. 9. The track assembly of claim 8, wherein said first and second idler wheels are mounted on tiltable spindles to permit said first and second idler wheels to tilt with said tread portion as said track assembly is moved across uneven terrain. 10. The track assembly of claim 9, further comprising a mechanism for varying an alignment of said first idler wheel. 11. The track assembly of claim 8, wherein said location of said axis of said idler wheel below said pivot member and on said opposite side of said imaginary dividing plane from said first idler wheel causing said track to be placed in tension as a downward load is applied to said frame. 12. A cart comprising two of the track assemblies as defined in claim 8. 13. A cart comprising: a first track assembly comprising: a frame having a first end and a second end; a first idler wheel operably associated with said frame at said first end of said frame; a link pivotally connected at said second end of said frame at a pivot member to pivot in a generally vertical plane about a pivot axis defined by said pivot member, an imaginary dividing plane being defined by a vertical extension of said pivot axis; a second idler wheel operably provided on said link; a tensioning device between said frame and said link to maintain an axis of said second idler wheel below said pivot member and on a side of said imaginary dividing plane opposite from said first idler wheel; and a continuous track provided around said first and second idler wheels, said continuous track having a tread portion formed by a lower span of said continuous track; a second track assembly comprising: a frame having a first end and a second end; a first idler wheel operably associated with said frame at said first end of said frame; a link pivotally connected at said second end of said frame at a pivot member to pivot in a generally vertical plane about a pivot axis defined by said pivot member, an imaginary dividing plane being defined by a vertical extension of said pivot axis; a second idler wheel operably provided on said link; a tensioning device between said frame and said link to maintain an axis of said second idler wheel below said pivot member and on a side of said imaginary dividing plane opposite from said first idler wheel; and a continuous track provided around said first and second idler wheels, said continuous track having a tread portion formed by a lower span of said continuous track.
