Abstract
An adapter assembly which includes an adapter having first and second adapter ends and first and second adapter sides. A removable tooth having first and second tooth sides is coupled with the adapter, and at least partially covers the first adapter end. A retainer pin extends at least partially through first and second openings of the first and second tooth sides, respectively and through an elongate slot of the adapter. The retainer pin is operable to cooperate with the adapter adjacent the first and second openings to couple the removable tooth and the adapter. A secondary retainer pin extends from the adapter at least partially into the elongate slot and engages a recessed portion of the retainer pin, the secondary retainer pin being operable to limit movement of the retainer pin along an imaginary longitudinal axis of the elongate slot.
