Al, depending on the age of the Tucker, there are 3 main types of Tucker tracks that I am aware of (and there could be even more than that).

First there was the old steel tracked steel pontoon, that evolved into a very similar fiberglass pontoon with steel tracks. The difference between the steel pontoon and the fiberglass version appears to be just a change in materials, but not any other significant advance in technology or design.

Then there are at least two more modern types that use bogie wheels and I am unclear on how they are technically different. One looks to be a belt type track with attached grousers, the other appears to be a molded rubber type track. There also seem to be some 'aftermarket' conversions out in the market to upgrade the old steel track/pontoon style to more modern tracks.

Hopefully someone with some real hands-on knowledge of the diffrent track systems can jump in and give a more detailed explaination.
