PURPOSE: A system for adhering a replaceable wear member to a parent member of a stable equipment is provided. CONSTITUTION: Replaceable wear members used in the past have usually included shortcomings which have caused the product to be less than desirable. The present system (10) for attaching a wear member (12, 212) to a parent member (14, 214) provides many advantages over the past configurations. For example, the unique configuration of the mounting base (20, 220) and wear member (12, 212) include cooperating slide and place engagement elements (22) for mounting purposes. Also, a unique low profile retainer (24, 224) is used to retain the wear member (12, 212), which allows for more use of the wear member (12,212) before replacement is required, thus the resulting is less throw-away material.
