Abstract
The spaced apart arms of a forklift vehicle are slidably received in sleeves mounted on the lower ends of spaced apart legs carried on a cross member. Upwardly facing hooks are provided on each of the legs and cross member for detachable engagement with hitch pins on a three-point mounted implement. A U-shaped stop having a cross member and perpendicular legs is pivotally connected through the free ends of the legs to the outer ends of the mounting sleeves opposite the hooks and is pivotal from a horizontal position for engagement with the standard of a forklift vehicle to an upstanding inoperative position.
