    Check transmission fluid level thru window

    Is there any trick to check fluid level on the transmission fluid? The window is clear and i don’t know if it is way under or way above. Is there a way to tell? I opened up the drain plug a bit, and the fluid is clear.

    Installing the thumb grapple

    that is what i am looking for. So you drill 4 holes, assuming to secure the baseplate and then weld the whole thing to the bucket?

It seems like you don’t want too much fulcrum from the bucket that can overstress the loader. Any real life experience using any of...
