Abstract
A ground engaging tool includes a ground engaging tool body, an excavating tooth, and an adapter. A fixed portion of the adapter is fixed to the ground engaging tool body, and an insertion portion of the adapter protrudes from the ground engaging tool body in a first direction. The excavating tooth has a tooth body, an insertion cavity and a supporting portion. The insertion cavity is formed in a base end face of the tooth body. The excavating tooth is attached to the adapter such that the insertion portion of the adapter is inserted into the insertion cavity of the excavating tooth. The supporting portion projects from an innermost part of the insertion cavity. The supporting portion of the excavating tooth opposes a front end of the insertion portion of the adapter such that a gap exists between the supporting portion and the front end of the insertion portion.
