ABSTRACT:
An assembly for coupling a dump truck bed to a frame of a work machine includes an attachment member secured in fixed relation to the frame. The attachment member has a plurality of first fastener apertures defined therein. The assembly also includes a hydraulic cylinder having a first end and a second end. The first end of the hydraulic cylinder is pivotally coupled to the dump truck bed. The assembly further includes a bearing assembly having an inner race and an outer race, wherein (i) the outer race is disposed around the inner race such that the outer race rotates in relation to the inner race thereby defining a central axis of rotation, (ii) the outer race is fixed in relation to the second end of the hydraulic cylinder, (iii) the inner race is fixed in relation to the attachment member, and (iv) the inner race has a plurality of second fastener apertures defined therein. The assembly also includes a plurality bolts respectively positioned within the plurality of first apertures of the attachment member and the plurality of second apertures of the inner race so as to secure the inner race to the attachment member, wherein the plurality of first apertures of the attachment member and the plurality of second apertures of the inner race are each eccentrically located relative to the central axis of rotation.
