ABSTRACT:
A guiding guard assembly for a crawler track vehicle is relatively easy to install initially as a "retrofit kit", and can also be easily removed and replaced as needed. Furthermore, the guiding guard does not obstruct idler bearings of the lower run of the track, thus permitting easy servicing. A plurality of transverse supports are secured to the vehicle and disposed transversely of each crawler track and spaced longitudinally apart. Structure for locating a guiding guard member on each side of each crawler track relative to the transverse supports is provided so that a lower face of each guiding guard member is spaced closely to a lower run of each crawler track to resist excessive twisting of the track. Support portions secured to the transverse supports and guard portions secured to the guiding guard members having inclined locating surfaces which cooperate with each other to prevent relative movement between the guiding guard member and the supports when secured together.
