Abstract: A lock pin assembly including a main body, a pin assembly, and a lock assembly. The main body includes a first bore extending longitudinally inwardly from a main body outer face and a second bore extending radially inwardly. The pin assembly is threadably disposable in the first bore to an inserted position and includes a pin body having a pin body outer face and a pin body inner face. The pin assembly also includes a rotatable shaft extending longitudinally through the pin body, wherein the rotatable shaft is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a cam rotationally coupled to the rotatable shaft. The lock assembly is disposed in the second bore and is biased radially inwardly to inhibit removal of the pin assembly from the main body when the pin assembly is at the inserted position and the rotatable shaft is in the locked position.

Abstract: A locking pin assembly for securing a ground engaging element to a support structure may include a body portion and may include a shaft portion disposed within the body portion and rotatable between a first position that mechanically inhibits removal of a ground engaging element from a support structure and a second position that permits removal of the ground engaging element from the support structure.

The stabilizer structure also includes a hole in a top surface of the upper portion. The stabilizer also includes a forward portion integrated with the main body portion as a single monolithic piece. The forward portion includes a bridge section, a first prong extending from the bridge section, and a second prong extending from the bridge section.

A first concave surface and a second concave surface may each be positioned on one of the vertically separated outwardly facing surfaces, may be disposed only in the rear portion and may be shaped to form an arc. A through-hole may extend between the two horizontally separated outwardly facing surfaces.

Abstract: A hollow ground-engaging wear member includes a leading end arranged to engage ground and a rear end having a cavity formed therein. The inner surface of the cavity may have vertically separated opposing inner walls forming an upper inner surface and a lower inner surface. The upper inner surface and the lower inner surface each may have a centrally disposed, inwardly protruding surface portion arranged to provide a bearing fit with a support structure.
