<p>A loader bucket for a front end loader has an elongated flat digging blade portion and an upwardly extending curved scoop portion. Apparatus for converting such a loader bucket into a pallet loader includes two identical tine harnesses. Each such harness includes a flat tine and a chain attached to the rear of the tine. A jam cleat is integral with the top side of an intermediate portion of the tine, and includes, a cleat arm adapted to overlie a leading edge of the flat digging blade portion of the bucket when the upper surface of the tine from the intermediate portion to the rear thereof is in contact with the underside of the flat blade portion. A load binder is connected between the chain and the intermediate portion of the tine when the load binder is in elongated open position. The load binder can be closed to shorten it to firmly clamp the tine to the underside of the flat digging blade portion of the loader bucket while clamping firmly around the scoop portion thereof.</p> |
