Universal Bucket Couplers and Bucket Options

T111029-UN-06AUG97

NOTE: In addition to the Universal coupler shown here, other couplers are available through your authorized dealer for a specific machine manufacturer; such as CASE and FORD NEW HOLLAND.

The 310G and 310E backhoe buckets have the same pin sizes as the D-series and C-series backhoe buckets, allowing D-and C-series backhoe buckets to pin to 310G and 310E linkage in the power dig position. This provides 190° bucket rotation without changing bucket pin location. Bucket must be installed in truck load position to prevent rod from hitting grease fitting on top of dipperstick.

Item	Measurement	Specification
310G and 310E Bucket-to-Dipperstick Pin	Diameter	44.5 mm (1.75 in.)
310G and 310E Bucket-to-Bucket Linkage Pin	Diameter	38.1 mm (1.5 in.)

A universal coupler is available to adapt a 310G or 310E backhoe for use with existing Deere and other types of buckets. To use coupler (A), slide front bucket pin into pin groove (B) of coupler and attach back bucket pin through appropriate size hole (C) in coupler, with coupler installed, the following buckets may be used:

• 310G and 310E Buckets
• 310SG, 315SG, 410G, 310SE, 315SE, and 410E Buckets

NOTE: The E-series and C- and D-series John Deere buckets have different rear pin positions in the coupler.

To attach the coupler to a bucket, engage the hook on the coupler with the front bucket pin. After the front pin is in the hook, roll the bucket to the correct rear pin position. The coupler has three rear pin holes to attach different buckets.
