I just bought an L3200 from stock on the dealer's lot. The loader lacks a leveling indicator so I ordered one. Both the salesman and I were unable to determine how it is installed. Can anybody help me with this? I'm leary of drilling or welding onto the loader because of the warranty, but there don't seem to be any mounting points. Also, the box was damaged and mounting hardware may have been missing. The dealer is re-ordering the package and having it delivered to my house. Thanks much.

You should not have to weld or fabricate anything. I would think a quick internet search should find you a picture.
Neither of mine have them. It doesn't take long to learn what a level bucket looks like from the seat. 
Thanks for the replies. I did an Internet search first but it didn't reveal anything really useful, not even good images other than welded mounts. It's been getting simpler to level after two weeks of owning/using the tractor, but I'm on hilly woodland and sometimes I need to dip or tilt back a little. The indicator in these circumstances is great as a baseline, at least this has been my experience with a Ford that I used in the past. Again thanks, and I'm still open for inputs. You gotta love Kubotas!
On one of ours the level indicator is a long rod attached to bucket. Rod slides freely through sleeve attached to a longer-than-usual pin on loader arm roughly in line with radiator with flat. If yours didn't come with the level indicator you may need to replace the std pin with the longer type in the loader arm. The longer pin sticks out between the loader arms and has a C- or E-clip holding the swiveling sleeve. Confirm parts diagram at KubotaBooks.Com or at Kubota website. Handy but gets bent easily sticking up especially if around low limbs. Bent one and removed it never missed it.
Again, thanks for your input on this. The one I had ordered came with an opened box and only the sleeve and rod; no other hardware. The Kubota dealer is looking into it and ordered another, which hasn't been delivered yet. And I'll look out for those low limbs.
