Implement suspension mechanism

A mechanism for detachably mounting an implement from a vehicle having upwardly opening hook means carried thereon, comprising:

• first and second transversely spaced bracket means, each bracket means including a U-shaped pin means connectable with the vehicle;
• draft linkage means fore and aft spaced of the first and second bracket means, said linkage means including upwardly opening hook means carried by the implement;
• hanger means having first and second fore and aft spaced cross members receivable respectively in the hook means of the vehicle and the implement,
• said hanger means further including cam means attached to one cross member and a handle connected to the cam means for rocking the cam means between first and second positions whereby the first and second hook means are moved between closer and spaced apart positions.

Mechanism for releasably suspending one end of an implement from a vehicle having bracket means carried on the lower portion thereof, said bracket means including a first pair of transversely spaced apart and upwardly opening jaw means;

• a second pair of transversely spaced apart and upwardly opening jaw means carried at the forward portion of the implement, said second jaw means adapted to be positioned fore and aft spaced from the first jaw means;
• a pair of transversely spaced apart fore and aft extending draft links, said links having front and rear portions;
• first and second fore and aft spaced and transversely extending pivot members extending between and connecting the respective front and rear portions of the links, said first and second pivot members being respectively receivable in the first and second jaw means;
• and
• cam means operatively connected to one pivot member, shiftable between first and second positions and operable to shift said pivot member between fore and aft spaced positions as the cam means is shifted between its first and second positions.
