Undercarriage clamping master track link

Abstract A clamping master track link comprising: a body defining a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side surface and a second side surface defining a thickness therebetween, a proximate end and a distal end; wherein the body defines a first 5 bore adjacent the distal end and a second bore adjacent to the proximate end; the body defines a first aperture disposed between the first bore and the second bore, the first aperture being disposed nearer the first bore than the second bore; the body defines a second aperture disposed between the first aperture and the second bore; the body includes a first strut disposed between the first aperture and the 10 second aperture, the body defining a first gap dividing the first strut into a first upper portion and a first lower portion; the body includes a second strut disposed between the first aperture and the first bore, the body defining a second gap dividing the second strut into a second upper portion and a second lower portion; and the first gap defines a first minimum distance and the second gap defines a 15 second minimum distance and the ratio of the second minimum distance to the first minimum distance ranges from 3 to 10, wherein the body includes a bridge disposed between the second aperture and the second bore, wherein the first bore defines a first longitudinal axis and the second bore defines a second longitudinal axis and the body jogs, forming an offset master track link such that the first bore 20 and second bore are offset from each other along either the first or second longitudinal axis, and wherein the body further defines a first cross-hole extending in a direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis of the first bore from the top surface to the first aperture and a second cross-hole extending in a direction perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis of the second bore 25 from the top surface to the second aperture, wherein the first cross-hole defines a first diameter and the second cross-hole defines a second diameter, and the first diameter is greater than the second diameter. 1OOARO(?5V5
