Abstract: A shroud retention system for a work tool is disclosed. The shroud retention system may have an adapter attached to the work tool. The shroud retention system may also have a shroud that slidably engages with the adapter. The shroud may have a retainer slot. Further, the shroud retention system may have a spring assembly disposed in the shroud. The spring assembly may have a block that slidably moves relative to the adapter. The spring assembly may also have a resilient member disposed between the adapter and the block. In addition, the spring assembly may have a retainer disposed in the retainer slot. The retainer may engage with the block. The retainer may have at least one recess disposed on the retainer front face or on the retainer rear face. The recess may extend partway toward the other of the retainer front face or the retainer rear face.

Abstract: In one aspect, a corner shroud includes a body that may have a floor portion having a floor rear surface, a floor inner surface, a floor lower surface, and a floor upper surface having a curved portion, a side portion, extending from the floor portion, and having a side outer surface, a side rear surface, a side inner surface, and a side upper surface, a front portion extending between the floor portion and the side portion, the front portion having a front surface, a front inner surface, and a front rear surface, and a top portion extending from the front portion, the top portion having a top upper surface, a top inner surface, a top lower surface, a top rear surface, and a top outer surface. The floor upper surface, the side inner surface, the front rear surface, the top lower surface, and the top inner surface define a recess.

Abstract: A system for use in securing bits against rotation in a motor grader may include a bit, with the bit having a shank. The shank may include a locking portion. The system may include an adapter board including a hole configured to receive the shank of the bit. The system may also include an anti-rotation plate configured to engage the locking portion of the shank of the bit such that the anti-rotation plate constrains the bit against rotation with respect to the adapter board.

Abstract: A corner segment, configured to be mounted to a work implement, may include a body having a plurality of surfaces including a rear surface, an upper surface, a front surface, a bottom surface, an outer side surface, an inner side surface, and a corner surface that is adjacent to each of the front surface, the outer side surface, the upper surface, and the bottom surface. A portion of the bottom surface forms a bottom surface wear zone, and a portion of the front surface forms a front surface wear zone, The corner segment may also include a plurality of protrusions provided on wear zones, the wear zones including the bottom surface wear zone and the front surface wear zone.

Abstract: A cutting edge for a machine. The cutting edge includes a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side. The cutting edge includes insert apertures along the bottom side. The insert apertures shaped to receive inserts made of harder material than the majority of the cutting edge.
