An attachment pin assembly includes a first pin body, a second pin body, and a bolt for fastening and fixing the first pin body and the second pin body to each other. The first pin body has a first shaft portion and a flange portion formed at an end of the first shaft portion. The second pin body has a second shaft portion. The bolt is inserted into the flange portion and the first shaft portion of the first pin body and the second shaft portion of the second pin body. Moreover, a housing recessed portion for housing a head of the bolt is formed at the first pin body, and a bottom surface of the housing recessed portion is arranged on a tip end side of the first shaft portion as a second pin body side with respect to a seating surface of the flange portion.

A method of controlling a machine through an interrupted operation of the machine is provided. The method includes retrieving an existing load signal indicative of an existing external load on the machine by a controller prior to the interrupted operation. The method includes calculating an available load capacity for the machine defined as a difference between a maximum load capacity of the machine and the existing external load by the controller. Further, the method includes controlling the machine to execute a working operation by the controller corresponding to the available load capacity of the machine.

A dipper having an inlet and an outlet. The dipper includes a front wall and an opposite back wall extending between the inlet and the outlet. The front wall has a substantially linear inner surface between the inlet and the outlet. The dipper further includes two side walls connected between the front wall and the back wall and extending between the inlet and the outlet. Further, the dipper has a lip coupled to the front wall and extending outwardly from the inlet in a direction away from the outlet, the lip having a lip inner surface arranged generally parallel with the substantially linear inner surface of the front wall.

A bucket (10) for moving ground material, the bucket (10) comprising a handling section (12) with a mounting arrangement (64) for coupling to a machine, a load section (14) mounted on the handling section (12) such that the load section (14) is separable from the handling section (12) so that the load section (14) can be separated and replaced with another load section (14). The handling section (12) may include a mounting formation (46), and the load section (14) may include a further mounting formation (20) that is complementary to said mounting formation (46) and the mounting formation (46) is configured to receive the further mounting formation (20) therein and the mounting (20) and complementary mounting formations (46) have surfaces that are in abutment.
