Abstract: A wear member for a track link of a track link assembly may include a plurality of surfaces, including an upper surface and an opposite planar lower surface. The device may also include a front portion and a back portion, as well as a plurality of dowels extending from the lower surface, including at least one dowel provided on one of the front portion and at least one dowel provided on the back portion of the wear member.

Abstract: A master link joint for a drive chain is disclosed. The disclosed master link joint includes two master links. Each master link includes a first half link and a second half link that engage each other along mating abutment surfaces. The two master links are disposed on opposite sides of the chain. The first half links are coupled by a pin that traverses the chain and the second half links are coupled by a bushing that traverses the chain. The mating abutment surfaces include a first ramp that meets a second offset ramp at a junction or root. An angle ? defined by the second ramps of the mating abutment surfaces and a line parallel to the rail or bottom pad of the half links ranges from about 45 to about 53°.
