Abstract
A wear component assembly can include an adapter having rearwardly extending bifurcated legs and a wear cap secured external to a leg with a fastener, the fastener extending laterally through the leg. Another wear component assembly can include a wear cap secured external to an adapter leg with a fastener, in which contact between the fastener and a recess formed in the wear cap limits rearward movement of the wear cap relative to the adapter. A wear cap can include a body configured to overlie at least a portion of an adapter leg, a tab at a rear end of the body, the rear tab having a recess formed therein and extending laterally across the tab and facing rearward, and another tab at a forward end of the body, the forward tab having another recess configured to receive a portion of the adapter therein.
