Zusammenfassung:	A track roller assembly for a work machine includes a drive and idler wheels and an endless track belt disposed about the wheels. The idler wheel is mounted on a track roller frame track roller frame with a swing link. The work machine has an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the alignment of the endless track belt in relation to the drive and idler wheels. The adjustment mechanism includes a transverse pivot pin connected to a downward projecting lobe of the swing link. A lever is connected to the pivot pin. The adjustment mechanism includes a drive mechanism, wherein a proximal end of the lever interacts with the drive mechanism such that the drive mechanism controls a position of the lever, wherein movement of the lever moves the pivot pin causing an adjustment in the position of the idler wheel and the alignment the endless track belt that rides thereon.
