A power shovel (10) for use on a bucket (14) of a front end loader (12) includes no modifications are required to the bucket (14) other than several bolt holes to mount the upper support bracket (24) of the power shovel. Alternatively, the upper support bracket (24) may be welded directly to the upper portion of the bucket (14) without drilling holes for bolts. The power shovel (10) includes a lower support bracket (22) fit over the blade (16) of the bucket (14) and an upper support bracket (24) bolted onto the top of the bucket (14). Chains (26, 28) are tensioned between the lower and upper support brackets around the back of the bucket( 14) to secure the lower support bracket (22) on the bucket (14). A digging portion (20) is welded to the lower support bracket (22) and further supported by support arms (30, 32) extending between the upper support bracket (24) and the digging portion (20).
