    "patent_abstract": "The invention relates to a track assembly for a tracked vehicle. Said track assembly comprises a track support beam configured to support road wheels, a drive wheel member, and a drive arrangement for drive wheel member operation and an endless track disposed around said road wheels and drive wheel member. Said drive arrangement comprises a brake arrangement for braking the drive wheel member, and a drive axle coaxially arranged relative to a centre axis of said drive wheel member for rotating said drive wheel member. Said brake arrangement is configured to be journaled in bearings in connection to a portion of the drive axle. Said brake arrangement comprises a torque arm configured to be connected to said track support beam so as to essentially prevent rotation of a brake housing of said brake arrangement about said centre axis.",
