ABSTRACT:
A work machine having a stick assembly which- includes (i) a stick having a forward stick aperture (ii) a guide which is pivotally coupled to the stick, and (iii) a link pivotally coupled to the guide is disclosed. The work machine also includes a coupler having a left lateral support and a right lateral support, wherein (i) the left lateral support has a left rear coupler aperture, a left intermediate coupler aperture, and a left forward coupler notch, and (ii) the right lateral support has a right rear coupler aperture, a right intermediate coupler aperture, and a right forward coupler notch. The work machine also includes an implement assembly having a left bracket and a right bracket, wherein (i) the left bracket has a left rear implement aperture, a left intermediate implement aperture, and a left forward implement aperture, and (ii) the right bracket has a right rear implement aperture, a right intermediate implement aperture, and a right forward implement aperture, and wherein the left intermediate coupler aperture, the right intermediate coupler aperture, the left intermediate implement aperture, and the right intermediate implement aperture are linearly aligned when (i) the left rear coupler aperture, the right rear coupler aperture, the forward stick aperture are linearly aligned with the left rear implement aperture and the right rear implement aperture, and (ii) the left forward coupler notch, the right forward coupler notch are linearly aligned with the left forward implement aperture and the right forward implement aperture.
