Abstract:
A chain assembly (18) having a retention feature (60) is disclosed. The chain assembly may be used in conjunction with a mobile machine (10) and may include a pair of track links (26) and a track link connector (28). The track link connector may have an elongate, substantially cylindrical body (70) having a length dimension and having a substantially annular exterior surface and first and second opposing end portions (54, 72). The first end portion may be inserted into a bore (52) of one of the track links and form an interface (58) therebetween. The interface may have an axial length (62). The track link connector may further have a retention feature extending 360 degrees around a circumference of the exterior surface of the body at the interface. The retention feature may be a roughened surface and may cover a first portion (64) of the interface closest to a center of the cylindrical body.
