Implement attachment apparatus and method

A method of attaching an implement to a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a vehicle that comprises a frame having first and second surfaces with first and second openings respectively, a plurality of wheels operatively connected to said frame, an engine for use in providing locomotion to at least one of said plurality of wheels, and first and second extension members extending from said first and second surfaces of said frame, said first and second surfaces being laterally spaced, said vehicle adapted to be drivable without an implement;
• providing said implement that comprises a main body portion and first and second attachment brackets having first and second holes and first and second slots respectively, said first and second attachment brackets being laterally spaced;
• providing an implement attachment apparatus that comprises first and second pins and securing means for securing said first and second pins in place;
• positioning the implement such that said first slot receives said first extension member and said second slot receives said second extension member;
• pivoting the implement about said first and second extension members until said first hole in said implement is oriented concentrically with said first opening in said frame and said second hole in said implement is oriented concentrically with said second opening in said frame, said implement capable of pivoting above and below said frame;
• inserting said first pin within said first hole in said implement and said first opening in said frame;
• inserting said second pin within said second hole in said implement and said second opening in said frame;
• and,
• securing said first and second pins into place.
