Abstract
A backhoe mounting assembly for a skid steer loader. A backhoe mounting assembly is provided for securing a backhoe to the front end of a skid steer loader at a forward end portion of the boom lift arms of the loader. A latch attachment provided on the frame of the loader engages an upper part of the mounting assembly and an implement carrying attachment on the loader lift arms engages the lower part of the assembly. Provision is made in the mounting assembly for disabling both the boom lift arms and a tilt cylinder associated with the implement carrying attachment when the backhoe mounting assembly is secured in place. Guide rails which support the operator's seat within the operator's compartment have been extended to enable the operator to use the seat of the vehicle from which to operate the backhoe, thereby keeping the operator within the confines of the operator's compartment when the backhoe is being run and providing the backhoe user with the protection of the overhead guard of the operator's compartment.
