Abstract: Disclosed are various exemplary embodiments of a retainer system for a ground engaging tool. In one exemplary embodiment, the retainer system may include a lock having a lock rotation axis and including an outer surface extending about the lock rotation axis. The retainer system may also include a retainer bushing including an inner surface extending about the lock rotation axis, where the inner surface is configured to rotatably receive the outer surface of the lock. The outer surface of the lock and the inner surface of the retainer bushing may be aligned substantially parallel to the lock rotation axis.

Abstract: An edge protector assembly is attached, via at least two connectors, to an edge of at least one wall surface of a bucket assembly. Each connector includes a first mating portion that is mated to at least one second mating portion of an edge protector of the edge protector assembly. One of the first and second mating portions includes a protrusion with a tapered section and the other includes a tapered cavity that receives the tapered section. A fastener assembly secures the edge protector to the connectors, and includes a fastener extending through a bore defined by the first and second mating portions. An inner wall of the bore and an outer surface of the fastener are out of contact with one another to avoid shear loads on the fasteners. The edge protector assembly includes an inner overhang area that is preferably zero percent, but up to one half of a protection area of the edge covered by the edge protector assembly.
