A snow removal machine (10) propelled by crawler belts (25) trained around drive wheels (20) and driven wheels (22) is provided. The snow removal machine has a scraper (45) facing the outer periphery (22a) of the driven wheel so as to remove snow (60) adhering to and accumulating on the outer periphery during snow removing operation. It prevents increase in tens ion of the crawler belt due to the increased diameter of the driven wheel in appearance that might otherwise be caused by snow adhering to the outer periphery. <IMAGE>
