Abstract:
A bracket assembly for coupling an implement to an arm of a machine includes a bracket with a plate and a bushing. The plate includes an opening having an inner wall including a number of engagement structures arranged along an axial direction of the opening. The engagement structures are longitudinally spaced apart from each other. The bushing is adapted to be inserted and positioned into the opening. The bushing includes a cylindrical portion with an outer surface, an end, and a plurality of mating structures arranged on the outer surface, along an axial direction of the cylindrical portion. The mating structures are longitudinally spaced apart from each other. An engagement between the engagement structures and the mating structures facilitate multiple positions of the end relative to the plate.
