ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary equipment attachment adapter, to be used in pairs, semipermanently attaches to the customary mounting fixtures on a vehicle for commonly available equipment including snow plows. The adapter has open horizontally diverging jaws, upwardly inclined to direct the attachment plate of the equipment to be attached into a retaining slot of the adapter. The equipment is modified by having a retaining bar placed between its attachments plates to engage a latch that holds the attachments plates in their retaining slots. The rearward portion of the adapter is an I-beam that rigidly encompasses the mounting fixtures of the vehicle and is pinned thereto through the web of the I-beam. This adapter and method provides a safe and easy method for engaging and disengaging attachments by one person from within the cab of any vehicle with no manual positioning of the attachment from outside the vehicle.
