  • Patent number: 10876271
    Abstract: An attaching-detaching structure of a front loader that can make the attaching and detaching work to a vehicle body easier, a front loader, and a work vehicle. The attaching-detaching structure of a front loader is provided with a thumb which, on a sub-frame that supports a boom, is supported so as to be able to move between an engagement position for engaging with a main frame provided on a vehicle body and a release position at which engagement with the main frame is released, and which is biased in the release direction toward the release position from the engagement position; and a lock bar which, on the sub-frame, is supported so as to be able to move between a regulated position for regulating movement of the thumb in the release direction from the engagement position, and a regulation release position that allows the thumb to move to the release position.
