Abstract
A wear resistant excavating apparatus provides reduced wear, resilient compensation for such wear, reduced time required for installation, maintenance, and repair, and reduced hazards of operation. In a preferred embodiment, a wear resistant excavating apparatus has a lip which penetrates the earth, a structure which overlaps the lip, a fastener which biases the overlapping structure to contact the lip, and a compression member which resiliently maintains the overlapping structure in contact with the lip.
