A bucket and H-frame assembly is described which is adapted for use with 4-wheel drive, truck and military and pick-up vehicles. The bucket is designed to contain approximately 600 pounds of material and is ideally suited by landscapers and light contractors. The H-frame assembly is comprised of a pair of H-beam-push arms which are pivotally attached to the bucket. Cross-beams are welded to the H-beam push arms and together form a plane. A tilt adjusting piston is pivotally attached to the H-frame and the arm of the piston is attached to the bucket. To protect the piston from damage during use, piston guards are attached to the front cross-beam extending above the plane defined by the H-beam push arms and cross-beams. These guards protect the piston from contact with the bottom surface of the bumper of the vehicle when the assembly is raised. The assembly further utilizes a pair of adjustable pivotally-mounted ears which cooperate with an attachment means on the vehicle chassis.
