A lubrication system is disclosed. The lubrication system may include a mounting case, a tube internal to the mounting case that is configured to carry oil, and an electric motor. The electric motor may include a motor housing, a mounting flange extending radially from the motor housing, and an oil passageway in the mounting flange. The mounting flange may be mounted to the mounting case to provide a fluid connection between the oil passageway and the tube.

A system for setting a dump height of a material engaging work implement above a dump body includes a rotatable implement system, an implement system pose sensor, and a bed height sensor. A controller determines an initial bed height, determines an initial dump height, generates a command based upon the pose of the work implement, and determines a subsequent dump height higher than the initial dump height. The controller is further configured to position the work implement at the subsequent dump height, determine a further subsequent dump height higher than the subsequent dump height, and position the work implement at the further subsequent dump height over the dump body.
