Excavator Bucket Hitch Assembly

A hitch assembly is provided which allows for mounting or dismounting buckets to an excavator arm by inserting or removing a single pin. The hitch assembly comprises an upper body for connection to the excavator by interposing pins 6, through the holes 1 and the arms 4 and 5 of the excavator and a lower body for connection to the bucket. The excavator arm is used to guide the hitch so as to locate a bar on the bucket 8, into open ended slots 2, then raised to allow the bucket to pivot about the bar 8, to cause holes 3, on the hitch assembly to align with the holes 9 on the bucket. Thereafter a pin 7 is inserted to lock the bucket to the assembly.
