ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is provided for protecting a base edge of a ground engaging implement of a work machine from wear. The apparatus includes a base edge cover and retaining apparatus of a construction adapted for time saving removal and installation. A mounting base is carried on the upper face of the base edge and has opposite sides and a outwardly opening cavity. The cavity has a concave frontal face thereon and a retainer opening through the one side in registry with the concave frontal face. A hook portion is provided on the base edge cover, which is adapted to be received within the cavity of the mounting base and positionable at a operative position where the convex face on the hook portion is disposed in a spaced opposing relation to the concave face in the cavity to define an arcuate groove therebetween. A curved retainer has a concave side and an opposite convex side and is adapted for receipt through the receiver opening into a retaining position within the arcuate groove such that the concave surface is disposed in close abutting relation to the convex face of the hook portion and the convex side is disposed in close abutting relation to the concave face of the cavity to restrict forward movement of the base edge cover relative to the mounting base.
