Abstract: A quick attachment device (12) for releasably connecting an implement (10) such as a loader to a vehicle without special tools comprises a pair of uprights (26) connected to the implement and a pair of corresponding pedestals (32) mounted on opposite sides of the vehicle. Each upright (26) is cradled by trunnions (40) in notches (38) on the corresponding pedestal (32) and releasably secured thereto by means of locking pins (48). Removal of the pins (48) and appropriate actuation of the cylinders (22, 30) causing the implement (10) to fulcrum about extendable stands (52) enable selective attachment or detachment from the vehicle.

Abstract: A quick attachment carrier assembly (10) for releasably connecting an attachment (12) to a front end loader (14) comprises a pair of carriers (24) with top and bottom notches therein adapted to receive transverse pins (40, 42) on the implement. Pivotal hooks (46) are provided on the carriers (24) for engagement with the pins (42) for interconnecting the implement (12) to the loader (14). The latch hooks (46) are preferably secured together and controlled in common by means of a single lever (52) and plunger (56) which permit positive locking of both hooks in either the latched or unlatched positions.

Abstract: A parking stand for supporting an implement such as a front end loader when the implement is not in use including an extendable, elongated support leg pivotally secured near its upper end to a portion of the implement, a pin assembly for fixing the support leg in a plurality of extended positions, interlocking connection apparatus for retaining the support leg in its non-operative position and apparatus for limiting the pivotal movement of the elongated support leg.
