Arcuate bit surface and blade assembly
A tool bit comprises a shank portion defining a longitudinal axis; and a working portion. The working portion includes at least a first arcuate surface disposed longitudinally adjacent the shank portion.
Bucket claw system
A bucket claw system and method of use wherein the bucket claw system comprises a bucket, either wedge shaped or flat bottomed, that is attached to a piece of heavy equipment such as a loader or skid-steer, wherein the bucket further comprises a plurality of teeth on the outside of the bucket, on the back portion of the bucket, in the area of the transition from the bottom portion of the bucket and the back portion. The bucket claw system can be used by rotating the front edge of the bucket up, exposing the plurality of teeth to the ground, and then moving the plurality of teeth along the ground in order to clear an area of scrap limbs, brush, vines, grass, roots, and undergrowth.
CAST TOP COVER FOR BASE EDGE WEAR PROTECTION
The top cover defines a first fastener receiving void that is disposed along the direction of material flow between the forward ramp portion and the rear edge. The top male angled surface of the top cover defines a first material flow groove that extends along the direction of material flow, and includes a first flow ramp. The first material flow groove is disposed adjacent along the lateral direction and the direction of material flow to the first fastener receiving void.
CAST TOP COVER FOR BASE EDGE WEAR PROTECTION
The top cover defines a first fastener receiving void that is disposed along the direction of material flow between the forward ramp portion and the rear edge. The top male angled surface of the top cover defines a first material flow groove that extends along the direction of material flow, and includes a first flow ramp. The first material flow groove is disposed adjacent along the lateral direction and the direction of material flow to the first fastener receiving void.
WEAR MEMBER ASSEMBLY FOR EARTH WORKING BUCKET
A tooth adaptor for a leading edge of excavation equipment has a body having legs defining a cavity, the body adapted to be mounted to the excavation equipment by the leading edge received in the cavity. A tooth interface is at a leading end of the body, a contact surface of the body being defined in the cavity and being configured to be opposite a leading surface of the leading edge and in contact with the leading surface. A boss projects in a trailing direction from the contact surface, wherein at least one of contact surfaces including a slot extending in a leading-to-trailing direction of the tooth adaptor. The slot may define a flaring section in which sidewalks) of the slot diverges from the leading-to-trailing direction. A trailing surface(s) at an end of the legs has a flaring geometry flaring away from the tooth interface.
Corner segment having protrusions on wear zones
A corner segment, configured to be mounted to a work implement, may include a body having a plurality of surfaces including a rear surface, an upper surface, a front surface, a bottom surface, an outer side surface, an inner side surface, and a corner surface that is adjacent to each of the front surface, the outer side surface, the upper surface, and the bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface forms a bottom surface wear zone, and a portion of the front surface forms a front surface wear zone, The corner segment may also include a plurality of protrusions provided on wear zones, the wear zones including the bottom surface wear zone and the front surface wear zone.
GROUND ENGAGING TOOL ATTACHMENT ARRANGEMENT
Provided is an arrangement that attaches a ground-engaging tool (GET) to an adapter on support structure of ground/earth engaging/conditioning apparatus. A retainer is in a recess of the adapter. A fastener is received through the GET aperture and into the adapter aperture. The head of the fastener can be within a recess of the GET. The recess can be multi lobed/shaped to receive the retainer and prevent rotation or other torsional/lateral deformation of the retainer when tightening/inserting the fastener. A fastener has a first threaded portion adjacent the head of the fastener and a second threaded portion along a shaft portion of the fastener extending distal from the head. The first threaded portion can be wider and/or of a more coarse thread pitch than the second threaded portion.
Wear member retention system for an implement
A lug member is provided for a wear member retention system for an implement. The lug member includes an elongated body having a length dimension. A wear member engagement portion extends toward a distal end of the elongated body. A compression bolt assembly engaging portion is adjacent a proximal end of the elongated body. The compression bolt assembly engaging portion defines at least one bore configured to receive a compression bolt.
Implement tip assembly having tip with wear indicator
A ground engaging tip of a tip assembly for a base edge of a ground engaging implement has an adapter configured for attachment to the base edge of implement and having a forwardly extending adapter nose. The ground engaging tip has a rear edge, a top outer surface, and a bottom outer surface. The top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge of the ground engaging tip and converge at a front edge of the ground engaging tip. The ground engaging tip also has a nose cavity, within the ground engaging tip and defined between the converging top and bottom outer surfaces of the ground engaging tip, for receiving the adapter nose therein. The nose cavity includes a wear indicator extending from an inner surface of the nose cavity, into the ground engaging tip, toward the bottom outer surface of the ground engaging tip.
REPLACEABLE WEAR PLATE
A wear member includes a body defining an exterior with an outside perimeter, an interior aperture with an at least partially interior polygonal perimeter, and at least one fastener receiving hole extending from the exterior to the interior aperture. The exterior lacks any large openings to limit the risk of material packing.
