Final Drive Sprockets
Reverse the fnal drive
sprockets when they wear
down to the wear circle. IF
the wear goes too Far past
the circle, the sprocket
starts hooking the track
shoes. That damages the
shoes and could result
in a thrown track. When
both sides oF the sprocket
are worn to the circle,
replace the sprocket.
Track Deflectors
BeFore moving out, take a look at
the track deflectors. They protect the
roadwheel arms From track slap. IF the
bolts are loose, the deflector can get
caught in the track and break oFF. Tell your
mechanic about loose bolts.
Hardware
At frst glance, it may seem
cheaper and easier to re-use bolts,
screws and selF-locking nuts on the
MLRS’s suspension, steering and
braking components.
It’s not.
Used hardware won’t hold. It
works loose and Falls out. That
results in damaged components.
So toss old hardware and replace it
with the parts called out in the TM.
