ABSTRACT:
A loader coupler includes left and right inner rib mounts that mate with left and right ribs of a first type of attachment coupling structure. The coupler also includes left and right outer rib mounts that mate with left and right ribs of a second type of attachment coupling structure. Left and right plunger assemblies each move between a locked and unlocked position and each includes both a first lock plunger and a second lock plunger. The left and right first lock plungers extend into left and right inner locking regions when the left and right plunger assemblies are located in the locked position. The left and right second lock plungers extend into left and right outer locking regions when the left and right plunger assemblies are located in the locked position.
