Screw profile mud-packing preventing
A rotating assembly for a machine is disclosed herein. The rotating assembly includes an annular support structure and a shaft assembly. The annular support structure includes a bore therethrough and protrusion extending helically around a portion of the bore. The shaft assembly includes a shaft and a collar coupled to the shaft. The collar includes a plurality of grooves located at the outer surface of the collar. The collar is positioned within the bore of the annular support structure such that the plurality of grooves are adjacent to the protrusion. As the annular support structure rotates, the protrusion rotates and is configured to move debris and mud out of the rotating assembly.
Guide rail for crawler track
A crawler mechanism includes a frame, a track including a plurality of shoes coupled together and supported for movement relative to the frame along a direction of travel, a sprocket, and a guide rail. The frame includes a first end, a second end, a first side extending between the first end and the second end and proximate a support surface, and a second side. Each shoe includes an intermediate portion having a first hardness. The sprocket drives the plurality of shoes to move along the second side of the frame. The guide rail is coupled to the second side of the frame and includes a base having an outer surface and a coating bonded to the outer surface. The coating contacts the intermediate portion of the shoes as the shoes move along the second side of the frame, and the coating defines a second hardness less than the first hardness.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A TRACK-DRIVEN WORK VEHICLE WITH RESILIENT ROLLER WHEEL BUSHINGS
A roller suspension system for a track-driven work vehicle may generally include a support beam and a resilient bushing configured to be coupled to the support beam. The resilient bushing may define a shaft opening. In addition, the system may include a roller wheel assembly having a roller wheel and a roller shaft. The roller wheel may be rotatable relative to the roller shaft. In addition, the roller shaft may be received within the shaft opening of the resilient bushing such that the roller shaft is coupled to the support beam via the resilient bushing.

FACE SEAL WITH INSTALLATION PILOT FOR A WHEEL ASSEMBLY OF A WORK VEHICLE
A face seal for use within a wheel assembly may include an inner sealing ring and an outer sealing ring. The outer sealing ring may include a first flange, a second flange and an outer cylindrical portion extending between the first and second flanges. The outer cylindrical portion may include a first cylindrical section extending axially from the first flange and a second cylindrical section extending axially between the first cylindrical section and the second flange. The face seal may also include an inner elastomeric ring and an outer elastomeric ring having an axial portion extending radially outwardly from the second cylindrical section of the outer cylindrical portion. Additionally, the axial portion may be radially offset from the first cylindrical section of the outer cylindrical portion such that an outer surface of the first cylindrical section is spaced radially outwardly relative to an outer surface of the axial portion.
