A base edge includes a plurality of center notches and a first and a second end notches that all include the same configuration, defining a notch depth along direction of assembly, a straight middle portion straddled laterally by a first arcuate corner portion and a second arcuate corner portion, the straight middle portion defining a lateral straight middle portion width, and the notch depth ranges from 0.1 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width to 0.5 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width.

An adapter cover includes a shell body including an exterior surface, an interior surface, and defining a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a vertical plane, a front face portion defining a thru-hole, a top leg extending horizontally from the front face portion and defining an adapter key receiving recess on the interior surface and a top leg side portion defining a concave arcuate portion extending rearward from the front face portion, a convex arcuate portion extending horizontally from the concave arcuate portion, terminating in a vertical rear surface, and a bottom leg extending horizontally from the front face portion.

An adapter cover includes a shell body including an exterior surface and an interior surface. A front face portion defines a thru-hole, a top leg extending horizontally from the front face portion and defining an adapter cover key on the interior surface. A top leg side portion defining a concave arcuate portion extending rearward from the front face portion, a convex arcuate portion extending horizontally from the concave arcuate portion, and terminating in a vertical rear surface. A bottom leg extending horizontally from the front face portion.

A load sharing block includes a body including a flat outer surface defining a first end and a second end, a first arcuate outer portion extending from the first end of the flat outer surface, and a second arcuate outer portion extending from the second end of the flat outer surface. The first arcuate outer portion terminates at a first free end and includes a first elliptical outer surface extending from the first free end.

An adapter includes a first leg, a second leg, and a throat portion that define a slot defining a direction of assembly onto a work implement assembly, a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly, and a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly and the lateral direction. The throat portion further includes a first throat side surface disposed along the lateral direction and a second throat side surface disposed on the opposite side of the throat portion along the lateral direction. The first throat side surface defines a first adapter cover receiving recess.

The first and the second legs and the throat portion of an adapter include an upper surface and a lower surface that at least partially define a slot, and a clearance void disposed at the closed end of the slot. A ratio of the clearance void width to the clearance void height ranges from 2.0 to 3.0.

An article handler for attachment to a front end loader, the article handler comprising a support body and a jaw assembly, the support body comprising a proximal end adapted for attachment to the front end loader, and a distal end adapted for attachment of the jaw assembly. The article handler may be adapted to handle, install, and dismount ground engaging tools (GET), such as teeth for excavating buckets.

An implement assembly includes an implement having a forward edge and an edge protection system. The edge protection system includes at least one edge shroud having a lower leg that includes a lower end and a lower end inner surface, an upper leg, and a wedge portion, the upper leg including an upper end portion and a connecting portion. The upper end portion has an upper end inner portion that may be angled to the lower end inner surface and/or a horizontal plane extending between the upper leg and the lower leg. The system also includes a boss assembly structured to couple the edge shroud to the implement, and including a pry boss. The angle of the upper end inner surface may be such that a clearance is formed between the upper end inner surface and the pry boss when moving the edge shroud forward in a disengaging direction relative to the implement. The clearance reduces frictional force opposing movement of the edge shroud in the disengaging direction. The pry boss may also include at least one pry notch having a pry surface, the pry notch being structured to receive a free end of a pry tool for prying the pry boss out of the assembly in a pry off direction.

A wear member for attachment with a work tool includes a body portion configured to be coupled to the work tool. The body portion includes a first outer surface, a second outer surface positioned opposite the first outer surface, a coupling surface configured to engage the work tool, and a wear surface disposed along a front edge of the body portion. The wear member further includes a lifting passage extending through the body portion from the first outer surface to the second outer surface and is positioned between the wear surface and the coupling surface.

A handling system for handling ground-engaging wear parts used on earth working equipment includes handling tools to remove and handle wear parts from equipment and/or to install new wear parts. The tools can include a gripping system to engage and disengage a wear part for installation and removal. The gripping system allows an operator to more easily grip a wear part and allows for various shapes and sizes of wear parts.
