Abstract
A universal coupler for a backhoe assembly in which a first link is pivotally connected to the articulation joints of the backhoe assembly. Mounting holes for a first and third style bucket with equal pin spacing are provided on the first link. A second link is connected to the first position and is pivotal between a first position in which the mounting holes are exposed and a second position in which the second link covers the holes on the first link and provides the mounting hole diameter and pin spacing for a bucket having a greater pin spacing.
