Abstract
An articulating member of a work machine includes a side plate of an opposed pair of side plates, each side plate of the pair of side plates having a surface facing the other side plate. At least one mount forming a pivot joint is secured to corresponding portions of each facing surface of a side plate of the pair of side plates. A separator plate is positioned between the pair of side plates. A reinforcement member has a peripheral edge collectively secured to one side plate surface, the at least one mount and the separator plate. The reinforcement member forms a continuous compartment spaced from the surface of the side plate, the peripheral edge forms a continuous connection with the one side plate surface, the at least one mount and the separator plate, and the at least one mount is fully secured to the one side plate surface.
