A track assembly mounted to a rotating wheel drive of a vehicle that includes a frame with inboard and outboard frame members having a center gap between them. A bearing housing is mounted to the outboard frame member. A hub adaptor has a peripheral wall forming a hollow interior that receives the wheel drive. Separate annular flanges are connected to and extend away from inner and outer surfaces of the peripheral wall and connect to the wheel drive and a sprocket surrounding the hub adaptor. As the hub adaptor rotates within the bearing housing, the sprocket rotates within the center gap of the frame. Idler are rotatably connected to opposed ends of the frame. An endless track is routed over the sprocket and around the idlers. The endless track engages with and is driven by rotation of the sprocket in order to circulate the track about the frame in a generally triangular path.
