A dragline bucket includes a base member defining a first end, a second end, and a third end. The dragline bucket also includes a first side wall, a second side wall, and an end wall extending from the base member proximate to the third end of the base member such that the end wall is connected to each of the first side wall and the second side wall. The end wall includes a first portion connected to the base member such that a first angle is defined between the base member and the first portion. The end wall also includes a second portion extending from the first portion. The second portion is substantially perpendicular to the base member. The end wall further includes a third portion extending from the second portion such that a second angle is defined between the second portion and the first portion.

A tooling system includes a dipper having a lip with a plurality of apertures, the apertures extending at least partially through the lip. The tooling system also includes a modular adapter configured to be inserted partially into one of the apertures along an axis of insertion. The adapter is configured to be releasably coupled to the lip. The adapter includes a first portion configured to extend into the aperture, and a second portion configured to extend out of the aperture. The tooling system also includes a locking system including a fastener configured to extend at least partially into the aperture and couple to the adapter to the lip.

An assembly may have a bucket having a main body defining an inner cavity, at least one connector on an outer surface of the main body of the bucket. A user access structure has a framework releasably mounted to the bucket, and at least one complementary connector for engagement with the at least one connector on the bucket. A method for accessing an upper frame of a bucket is also provided.

A bucket may have a main body defining an inner cavity. A wear plate(s) covers an inner surface and/or an outer surface of the main body, the wear plate having holes therein. Fasteners passing through the holes and secured to the main body by screwing engagement. The wear plate(s) may cover an inner surface and/or an outer surface of the main body or the door at an interface therebetween.

A shovel includes a dipper, a hoist rope supporting the dipper, and a bail assembly. The bail assembly includes a bail configured to be coupled to the dipper and an equalizer including a mounting block configured to receive a portion of the hoist rope. The bail is pivotable about a bail axis and defines a first side. The equalizer is pivotably coupled to the bail. The equalizer is pivotable about an equalizer axis that is parallel to the first side of the bail and is offset from the first side.
