Abstract: A mounting member for an actuator of a machine is disclosed. The actuator has a cylinder defining a longitudinal direction and a motor disposed adjacent to a mounting end of the cylinder. The actuator has a first angular orientation and a second angular orientation about the longitudinal direction with respect to the mounting member. The motor is disposed proximal to the mounting member in the first angular orientation and disposed distal to the mounting member in the second angular orientation. The mounting member includes a base portion to couple to a frame of the machine and a bracket portion extending from the base portion. The bracket portion is coupled to the mounting end of the cylinder. The mounting member further includes a guide portion extending from the base portion to prevent coupling of the actuator to the bracket portion in the first angular orientation.

Abstract: A shield assembly is provided for an axle assembly of a machine. The machine includes a ground engaging device including a hub. The hub defines a cavity and an inboard opening to the cavity. The axle assembly includes a spindle, a final drive rotatably coupled to the spindle, and a gap disposed between the spindle and the final drive. The shield assembly has a shield body coupled to the axle assembly and disposed within the cavity of the ground engaging device. The shield body is located above portions of the spindle and the final drive, and extends over the gap.
