A track joint assembly pivotally links together track links of a continuous track. To form the track joint assembly, the first track link may include a male lug projecting from an edge of the track link that can be received between first and second side lugs projecting from the second track link. A floating bushing may be disposed inside a lug bore of the male lug and is in lubricated contact with the male lug. To retain the lubricant, first and second seals are disposed at either side of the floating bushing. A pin is inserted through both the floating bushing and lug apertures disposed through the first and second side lugs respectively. The pin may be in dry contact with the floating bushing and is either in a clearance fit or transition fit so that it can rotated with respect to the floating bushing.
