If the tank has thrown a track in the field, sometimes its possible to get it back on, but as hard as it is in the shop its even more laborious in the mud of the field and possibly under fire.
ANS2:(A) You drive the tank onto the laid-out track, (yes you can drive a tank on one track. By pulling on the steering lever on the side which is having the new track fitted it stops the drive on that side, thus making the other side drive the track already fitted). (B) You stop the tank when the rear is close to the end of the laid - out track. (C) You attach a strong rope to the end of the track at the front of the tank, pass the rope along the top return rollers and wrap it round the drive sprocket. (D) The driver now engages low reverse and pulling the steering lever on the side of the tank which already has a track fitted,slowly reverses. The tank stays where it is but pulls the track over the return rollers untill the teeth on the drive sprocket engage the track. (E) The rope is removed and the same procedure followed untill the track is tight on the return rollers. (F) The two ends are connected as per the previous answer, i.e by someone with a crowbar lifting the track till the ends meet, when the track pin is driven in. (G) The track is then tightened to the correct amount by two men wielding the biggest spanner you have ever seen onto the track adjuster on the front idler wheel. - Job done!

What do you call the tracks on an army tank?
The tracks on an army tank are called "track links" or simply "tracks." These are designed to distribute the tank's weight over a larger surface area, allowing it to traverse rough terrain more efficiently. The tracks provide traction and stability, enabling the tank to move over obstacles and uneven ground.
Why army tanks run on tracks?

since p=thrust/area,if a wide steel belt(more area) is provided ,it reduces the pressure exerted by the tank on the ground.so,it prevents the tank from sinking into the ground. You may mean the actual tracks. They are engineered of many steel links, often rubber covered to enable the tank to run on many surfaces.
