Abstract
Abstract An implement for wrecking small buildings which may conveniently be attached to or removed from a bucket loader is described. It comprises upper and lower tubular booms for connection to the upper and lower sides of the bucket, a spreader between the booms, and a tool assembly attached to the lower boom and having a tool support and a tool head attached to the support. A jack is placed within the bucket to keep it from collapsing under the loads imposed by the implement.
