A liner plate for a work machine has a frame with a frame surface and an axle opening, and a guard member at least partially disposed above the axle opening. The guard member has a lower face, a region of the frame surface and a region of the lower face define a volume. The liner plate includes a body portion defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. The body portion defines a first side surface and a second side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the frame surface proximate the first side surface. The body portion is adapted to be coupled to the guard member proximate the second side surface. Further, upon coupling of the body portion to the frame surface and the guard member, the body portion prevents at least some debris from entering the volume.

An axle assembly for a landfill compactor includes an axle housing, a carrier housing located proximate the center of the axle housing, a drain plug located on an underside of the carrier housing, and a guard. The guard is attached to the underside of the carrier housing with adhesive such that the guard covers the drain plug and is configured to protect and give access to the drain.

A system for facilitating evaluation of characteristics related to quality associated with a machine design may include a user input device configured to generate a query related to one or more characteristics related to quality associated with a machine design. The system may also include a display device configured display images, and a processor in communication with the user input device and the display device. The processor may be configured to receive a query from the user input device, access data representative of the machine design, and generate image data representative of characteristics related to quality associated with the machine design. The image data may be communicated to the display device to display a machine image including a color-coded representation of at least a portion of a machine and a textual image including textual representations of information related to the machine design.

Systems and methods for facilitating evaluation of characteristics related to quality

A method includes, with a processor executing computer-readable instructions stored within a memory device, displaying, on a display device and via at least one graphical user interface (GUI), a first interface element associated with a machine selection, receiving, via the first interface element, a first input comprising an indication of a machine, displaying, on the display device and via the at least one GUI, one or more second interface elements associated with tool parameters, receiving, via the second interface element, a second input comprising an indication of the tool parameters, determining, based at least in part on the machine and the tool parameters, one or more tools for use with the machine, and presenting, via the at least one GUI, a graphical representation of the one or more tools.

An air delivery system for an engine includes a first air filter, a second air filter, a first conduit, a second conduit, an air box, and a third conduit. Each of the first air filter and the first conduit, and each of the second air filter and the second conduit are disposed at a first angle with respect to a lateral axis of the air box. The first angle is adapted to limit restriction to flow of intake air from each of the first air filter and the second air filter toward the air box. The third conduit is disposed at a second angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of the air box. The second angle is adapted to limit restriction to the flow of intake air from the air box to the engine.

A cleaner finger assembly for cleaning compactor teeth on a compactor wheel of a compactor machine includes a cleaner finger base having a tip engaging surface and a base longitudinal axis, a cleaner finger tip having a base engaging surface and a tip longitudinal axis, and a finger tip anchoring mechanism attaching the cleaner finger tip to the cleaner finger base with the base engaging surface facing and engaging the tip engaging surface. The finger tip anchoring mechanism fails and the cleaner finger tip detaches when the cleaner finger tip is engaged by debris with a force parallel to the tip longitudinal axis, or with a force perpendicular to the tip longitudinal axis, to cause a tip shear force greater than a tip anchor shear capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism or a tension force greater than a tip anchor tension capacity of the finger tip anchoring mechanism.
