Circle assembly for implement

An implement assembly for a motor grader, the implement assembly comprising:

• a circle assembly including:
• a base plate defining a first slot and a second slot disposed adjacent to the first slot;
• a circle fixedly coupled with the base plate;
• a first mounting bracket fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the first mounting bracket defines a third slot;
• a first plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the first mounting bracket;
• a second mounting bracket disposed adjacent to the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket being fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the second mounting bracket defines a fourth slot;
• and
• a second plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the second mounting bracket;
• a blade removably coupled with the circle assembly;
• and
• a blade pitch cylinder coupled, at a first end, with the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket and coupled, at a second end, with the blade;
• wherein the first slot of the base plate and the third slot of the first mounting bracket interlock the base plate and the first mounting bracket with each other, and wherein the second slot of the base plate and the fourth slot of the second mounting bracket interlock the base plate and the second mounting bracket with each other.

A motor grader comprising:

• a frame;
• and
• a drawbar coupled to the frame;
• an implement assembly coupled with the drawbar, the implement assembly including:
• a circle assembly including:
• a base plate defining a first slot and a second slot disposed adjacent to the first slot;
• a circle fixedly coupled with the base plate;
• a first mounting bracket fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the first mounting bracket defines a third slot;
• a first plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the first mounting bracket;
• a second mounting bracket disposed adjacent to the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket being fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the second mounting bracket defines a fourth slot;
• and
• a second plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the second mounting bracket;
• and
• a blade removably coupled with the circle assembly;
• wherein the first slot of the base plate and the third slot of the first mounting bracket interlock the base plate and the first mounting bracket with each other, and wherein the second slot of the base plate and the fourth slot of the second mounting bracket interlock the base plate and the second mounting bracket with each other.

A circle assembly for an implement of a motor grader, the circle assembly comprising:

• a base plate defining a first slot and a second slot disposed adjacent to the first slot;
• a circle fixedly coupled with the base plate;
• a first mounting bracket fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the first mounting bracket defines a third slot;
• a first plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the first mounting bracket;
• a second mounting bracket disposed adjacent to the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket being fixedly coupled to the base plate and the circle, wherein the second mounting bracket defines a fourth slot;
• and
• a second plate member fixedly coupled with the base plate and the second mounting bracket;
• wherein the base plate includes a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein the first slot extends from the first side edge towards the circle and the second slot extends from the second side edge towards the circle.
