ABSTRACT:
An idler wheel assembly for supporting and guiding an endless track chain assembly of a track-type vehicle includes a spoked idler wheel having a plurality of aligned apertures through the sidewalls. A resilient plug assembly is contained within each set of aligned apertures. A resilient pad isolates each plug assembly from the idler wheel. Conventional spoked idler wheels have a plurality of holes through the sidewalls. These holes collect debris which can damage the idler wheel or other undercarriage components. The subject idler wheel assembly includes resilient plug assemblies to close the apertures and maintain the sound reducing characteristics of the idler wheel assembly.
