Abstract
A universal backhoe bucket coupler for a work machine includes a first pair of apertures positioned to be spanned by the mounting flanges of a first style bucket having mounting holes for receiving at least one front mounting pin, a second pair of apertures positioned to be spanned by the mounting flanges of a second style bucket having mounting holes for receiving at least one front mounting pin. A pair of like pivotal spacers is disposed laterally intermediate corresponding outer and inner side portions of the coupler and are pivotable between stowed positions and deployed positions aligned with the first pair of apertures for minimizing lateral bucket motion.
