Abstract of the Disclosure Ground Engaging Tool Tip retainer mechanisms are designed primarily to secure a tip to an adapter nose for use in a variety of applications. In the subject arrangement, the holder substantially encircles the outer diameter of a spring retainer. When assembled, the holder and spring retainer are placed in a recess of the adapter nose and a bore of the spring retainer is substantially axially aligned with a transverse bore of the adapter nose. Furthermore, the holder is made of an elastomeric material and has a thickness greater than a depth of the recess. Consequently, upon assembly of the tip on the adapter nose, the pin may be easily inserted through the respective holes of the tip, the transverse bore of the adapter nose, and the properly aligned bore of the spring retainer. Due to the compressive forces of the elastomeric holder, the tip is snugly held against the adapter nose to substantially eliminate the vibrations between the tip and the adapter nose.
