Dead shoes (T130 and T150). Look for shoes with one end that sticks up above the same side of the next shoes on upper
side of track. This is caused by the rubber bushing rotating in the shoe. Record fault on DA Form 2404 and report to unit
maintenance. If carrier has extra shoes stowed on front of carrier, replace dead shoes. See task: REMOVE/INSTALL
(T130) TRACK SHOE (WP 0093 00) or REMOVE/INSTALL (T150) TRACK SHOE (WP0093 01).
End Connectors (T150 only). Visually look at the outside edge thickness of the end connectors. If any end
10.
connector appears to be worn where the sprocket teeth make contact more than the rest of the end connectors,
the end connector must be removed to measure it with the track gauge. The inside portion is generally where
it will wear out and can only be checked when it is removed from the track shoe. If you remove the end
connector to measure it and reinstall it, make sure you have unit maintenance torque it properly before
operating the carrier for any length of time or going on any missions. Measure the outside edge thickness of
end connector. If the track gauge fits over the end connector edge, end connector is worn. Have unit
maintenance replace end connector.
