The sprocket member (300, 400, 500) keeps the sprocket centered within the link box while the notches (322, 422, 522) or cut-outs allow mud, dirt, or other material to move out of the link box formed of the track chain assembly (126) by two track bushings (204) and two track links (202) that form a rectangular shaped perimeter. The spacing provided by the wings (320, 420, 428, 520, 528) of the sprocket member (300, 400, 500) reduce wear on the track links (206) near a track bushing and track link interface (210) such as a press-fit connection by spacing the lugs (302, 402, 502) of the sprocket member (300, 400, 500) away from the interface (210).
