An axle guard assembly (134, 434) of a machine (100) protects against intrusion of wire wrap into a central cavity (152) of a ground engaging device (116). The guard (134, 434), which is mounted to the axle (118, 119), includes a wall (210, 511) disposed within the cavity (152) of the ground engaging device (116). A cover (212) can be provided which includes a flange (242) circumscribing a central portion (240). The central portion (240) is disposed axially inwardly of an inboard opening (154) to the cavity (152). The flange (242) can extend radially outwardly from the central portion (240) and axially outwardly toward the wall (210). The periphery (258) of the cover (212) can be configured such that it is larger than the inboard opening (154) to the cavity (152). In another aspect, a support vane (216) can be provided which extends along a longitudinal axis (X) between a first wall (210, 511) and a second wall (212, 510) and includes a planar vane surface (266) extending substantially radially to the longitudinal axis (X). |
