A machine tread including a first and second pair of plates. The plates have corresponding first ends and second ends, and the second ends of the first pair include elliptical bores with elliptical plate bearing surfaces. The first ends of the second pair include aligned bushing bores. The first ends of the second pair fit between the second ends of the first pair. Ends of a bushing including an inner bore with an interior surface and a cylindrical bearing surface engage the bushing bores forming a pin bore through the inner and elliptical bores. A retention pin fits in the segmented pin bore. The first pair has a tensioned position when a force acts in a direction away from the second pair. In the tensioned position, the elliptical plate bearing surfaces and the interior bushing surface abut the cylindrical bearing surface.
