track (~ undercarriage) Explanation: I'm not knowledgeable enough to contest Sven or George, this is just a comment/additional information. Considering the definition that Sven links to (regarding military bandwagons): "Med bandstället avser jag band, bär-, stöd- och drivhjul på ett bandfordon, t. ex. stridsvagn" 'bandställ' refers to the whole "shebang" of wheels, passive wheels and the track itself. With reference to the schematics in my first web reference below, that can also be referred to as simply "undercarriage". "Track unit" can as far as I know denote a whole vehicle that runs on tracks. so depending on context so you might want to be aware of that. (Second web reference below) Also see for reference e.g. Wikipedia , search "caterpillar tracks", for information about sprockets, wheels etc. in regards to tracked vehicles.
