A wear limit determining gauge to be used in determining whether or not a wear loss of each of track-related components of a tracked vehicle exceeds a predetermined amount, comprising:
- a main body being formed in a plate shape;
- a first reference surface serving as a reference when determining a wear loss of a first component;
- a first contact surface located on an end of the main body, the first contact surface making contact with the first reference surface;
- a first wear limit determining part disposed on a worn side of the first component when the first contact surface contacts the reference surface, the first wear limit determining part including:
- a first determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to a first threshold amount, the first threshold amount being less than a first predetermined amount;
- a second determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the first determining portion, the second determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to a second threshold amount, the second threshold amount being greater than the first threshold amount and less than the first predetermined amount;
- and
- a third determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the second determining portion, the third determining portion indicating that the wear loss is greater than or equal to the first predetermined amount;
- a second reference surface serving as a reference when determining the wear loss of a second component;
- a second contact surface located on a different end of the main body from the end on which the first contact surface is located, the second contact surface making contact with the second reference surface;
- a second wear limit determining part disposed on a worn side of the second component when the second contact surface contacts the reference surface, the second wear limit determining part including:
- a fourth determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to a fourth threshold amount, the fourth threshold amount being less than a second predetermined amount;
- a fifth determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the fourth determining portion, the fifth determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to a fifth threshold amount, the fifth threshold amount being greater than the fourth threshold amount and less than the second predetermined amount;
- and
- a sixth determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the fifth determining portion, the sixth determining portion indicating that the wear loss is greater than or equal to the second predetermined amount;
- a third reference surface serving as a reference when determining a wear loss of a third component;
- a third contact surface located on a different end of the main body from the ends on which the first and second contact surfaces are disposed, the third contact surface making contact with the third reference surface;
- and
- a third wear limit determining part disposed on a worn side of the third component when the third contact surface contacts the reference surface, the third wear limit determining part including:
- a seventh determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to a seventh threshold amount, the seventh threshold amount being less than a third predetermined amount;
- an eighth determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the seventh determining portion, the eighth determining portion indicating that the wear loss is approximately equal to an eighth threshold amount, the eighth threshold amount being greater than the seventh threshold amount and less than the third predetermined amount;
- and
- a ninth determining portion including a step disposed adjacent to the eighth determining portion, the ninth determining portion indicating that the wear loss is greater than or equal to the third predetermined amount.
