Abstract: A vibratory mechanism 26 is provided for a compacting work machine 10. The vibratory mechanism 26 includes a first/outer eccentric weight 50 and a second/inner eccentric weight 80. The second weight 80 has a cavity 88 with a movable mass 90 that when rotated in a first direction 124 opposes the first eccentric weight 50 and when rotated in a second direction 126 the movable mass 90 combines with the first eccentric 50. The second eccentric weight 80 is also manually indexable relative to the first eccentric 50 to a plurality of distinct positions giving a plurality of different amplitude vibratory impact forces when rotated in either of the first and second directions 124,126.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for a work machine, such as a mining dump truck, comprises a rotatable wheel having inboard and outboard rims mounted thereto. The outboard rim is mounted to a segmented rim-mounting flange which is secured to the inboard side of a flange projecting from the wheel. A final drive adapter is secured to the outboard end of the wheel opposite the segmented rim mounted flange. The segmented mounting flange permits the use of a larger final drive ring gear than in known wheel assemblies. Moreover, because the mounting flange is segmented, it can be fastened to the wheel inboard of the gear reduction housing, which permits the final drive assembly to be serviced without removal of the outboard rim from the wheel. Related methods are also disclosed.
