On Tucker Sno-Cat® vehicles, proper alignment isn’t limited to sprockets alone—the arrows on rubber tracks and the alignment buttons on steel track sprockets must also match. These indicators show the correct engagement point between the track and the drive system. When the arrows or buttons are misaligned, the track may not seat properly on the sprocket teeth, leading to uneven pulling forces and increased wear. Ensuring these visual markers are correctly aligned helps the track run true, maintains consistent load distribution, and preserves the engineered relationship between the sprocket and track components. This simple step is one of the easiest and most effective ways to promote long-term reliability and prevent avoidable damage.
