Abstract

A track-type vehicle comprises a pair of laterally spaced track assemblies adjustably mounted on a frame of the vehicle for movement between maximum and minimum gauge widths thereof. A guard assembly is mounted on the frame to fully cover and protect the motors when the track assemblies are positioned at each such gauge width. The guard assembly is preferably attached to the frame by three laterally spaced pin connections which further function to transmit towing forces to the frame directly.
