Hey guys,
I have a Bush Hog Brand loader on my old JD-2640. The loader was bought used and I had it mounted on my tractor last year.
What I am looking for help on is, I need a level indicator for my bucket. I have looked at other tractors and they either have a rod going through a small pipe with a color change at the point where the bucket is level with the ground, or a ring of sorts with a crook in the rod coming from the bucket, that indicates when the bucklet is level the lowered position. I can get reasonably close to getting the bucket level, but more often than not, I either end up digging down or skidding over when I am trying to get a load into the bucket.
I figure I could fabricate one, but if one is available, already made, I might save myself some time on trial and error process of making one work and also not get heat stroke while trying to make one.
I have done a little searching on google to see if that part is available, but not much information.
Any ideas or pictures of one would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Mike
