Abstract: An adapter for operatively connecting a work implement such as a bucket or fork to a loader vehicle body. The adapter may be commonly used for connection of various types or sizes of implements. Though easy to use and manufacture, the adapter provides strong, reliable and balanced connection between the vehicle and implement through its pair of side brackets and one center bracket which are rigidly connected with each other via a common support frame and which pivotably connect in substantially straight alignment respectively with a pair of implement lift arms and one implement pivot arm extending from the vehicle body.
