Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of rock crushers, in particular, rock crusher attachments for earth moving equipment or the like. The rock crusher attachment includes a front bucket portion configured for scooping rocks to be crushed and a rear crusher portion connected to and in communication with the rear of the bucket portion. The crusher portion includes a housing and a crushing assembly accommodated within the housing. The housing including a pair of spaced apart side panels. The crushing assembly has a lower jaw fixed between the side panels of the housing and an upper movable jaw mounted opposite and spaced apart from the lower jaw. The upper movable jaw assembly includes a support, an upper jaw plate attached to the underside of the support and a jaw-actuating drive assembly operable to urge the upper movable jaw assembly to move between an open jaw setting and a closed jaw setting. The support is pivotally connected between the side panels adjacent the front of the housing.
