TM 9-2350-247-10 TRACK SHOE WEAR LIMITS — Continued 0061 01 6. Center guide (T130 and T150). The center guide has to be 1/8-inch thick or more, measured 2 3/4-inch from the face of the track. The center guide must be at least 2 3/4-inches long. Report to unit maintenance to replace the track shoe. Use track gauge (WP 0081 00, Item 21A) as shown for T150. If gauge touches track shoe, it is bad. Replace shoe. 7. Rubber inserts (T130 only). Look at the rubber inserts that bear on the road wheels. If there is 3/8-inch or more separation between the rubber and metal all the way around, the shoe must be replaced. If the insert shows chunking 1/2-inch or more deep on 10 percent or more of its surface, the shoe must be replaced. 8. Bushing wear (T130 and T150). With the track on the carrier and under normal tension, insert pins of track and sprocket gauge into track shoes. (T130) If pins of track gauge (WP 0081 00, Item 21) enter both track shoes freely, track bushings are OK; if pins do not enter both track shoes freely, bushings are worn. Report any worn bushings to unit maintenance. (T150) If track gauge (WP 0081 00, Item 21A) enters both end connector pins, bushings are worn. Notify unit maintenance to replace track shoe. 0061 01-3 Change 1
