bucket level indicator LA203 loader

[Randy K]

I did not like the gauge on the bucket, wanted a true bucket level indicator rod that was not in the way, since there is not one available for this model, I looked at the newer ones and started planning. Used misc. metal from my shop, cut, welded, drilled and came up w/this. I have the quick coupler so I can drop the bucket fast and mounted it to the quick coupler so don’t have to unhook when bucket dropped.

Nice work.

Cut off one half side of some of the upper tube so the inner rod doesn't disappear when below level. I often need the bucket slightly below level, and that would let me see how far below level it is.

you may be cannot see it clearly, but I have the rod and tube cut off at an angle so when level it is all flush, if I want to go lower, it will show a shadow.
