Abstract

Present reaction arms for use with an endless belt fail to adequately disperse the debris from the drive wheel and the endless belt. The present reaction arm includes a cushioning member interposed a first end and an outer surface of a center portion of a hub assembly. And, the reaction arm includes a second end being attached to a chassis of a work machine. The reaction arm is axially positioned within a pair of sides of an endless belt and is generally centered along an axis defined by the pair of sides.
