Abstract

A boom and boom cylinder quick coupler includes a body defining at least one bore about a transverse boom pivot axis, and the bore is adapted for selective alignment with a transverse bore defined in an associated boom. A first transversely extending open recess is defined in the body about a first transverse axis that is parallel to the transverse boom pivot axis. The first recess is adapted for selective receipt of a first pin affixed to an excavator. A second transversely extending open recess is defined in the body about a second transverse axis that is parallel to the first transverse axis. The second recess is adapted for selective receipt of a second pin affixed to the excavator. A boom cylinder quick coupler can also be provided. The boom cylinder quick coupler includes a boom cylinder coupler body that defines a bore about a transverse cylinder pivot axis so that the coupler body is adapted for pivotable connection to first and second associated fluid cylinders by insertion of a pin through the bore of the cylinder coupler body and through aligned bores defined in members connected to first and second associated fluid cylinders. First and second pin-receiving recesses are defined in the boom cylinder coupler body about third and fourth transverse axes that are parallel to the transverse cylinder pivot axis. These recesses are adapted for selective receipt of a associated pins connected to the associated boom.
