ABSTRACT:
During the operation of a track-type machine in abrasive terrain, it is common to have foreign material deposited between the engagement surfaces of a track chain assembly. The presence of this foreign material between these surfaces has been known to greatly accelerate the wear between these components. The present invention provides a pair of deflecting plates that are positioned adjacent and in overlying relation to certain engagement surfaces of various components of the track chain assembly 14. The deflecting plates direct foreign material away from contact with the engagement surfaces and thereby reduce the wear of the track chain components.
