Loader Max 28 Bucket Level Rod

[mitchash]

Anyone build a bucket level rod for a Max 28?

Here is the set up on the bigger Mahindra tractors.

Anyone have the bucket level rod on the Max tractors?

Surf You Tube. One of the guys shows how to make one for his Kubota. You may get some ideas.

Here are some pictures of what I I’d. Don’t recall the sizes, but got the tubing,rod and flat stock at tractor supply. Drilled the holes in the brackets,bent them in a vise with the help of a propane torch and the rod and tube were put into the bracket holes and tack welded. After marking the rod with the bucket level, I ground a groove and painted white so the paint wouldn’t wear off. all of the holes on the loader were already there. I made a plastic bushing for the upper hole to match the bolt size. Also want to use nyloc nuts so you can leave the brackets a little loose so they rotate.

This I what I did on my 3616. Drilled and tapped the pins to 5/16 thread and used 3/8 shoulder bolts.

That was what I’m looking for! Thanks! If you get a chance can you measure that rod and tube? thanks again!

I don’t see where the plastic bushing goes?

Let me start by saying my tractor loader is probably smaller than yours because it’s a smaller model max. it was also made by KMW in Kansas. I just recently read that some of larger Max’s may have Ansung loaders.
The rod is 5/16 x 30”. The tube is 1/2” OD by 23 1/2”.
As for the bushing,below is a picture of the hole that the upper bracket is mounted to. Needed to put something in there to keep the bolt centered. Might be able to find a washer or something similar that would work. I didn’t feel like drilling or welding something on to the loader arms

Thanks! I will have to do some measurements on my loader and make something similar.

My loader is very similar to yours but I don’t have the quick attach (I wish I did). And my pins have grease fittings where you drilled and tapped for leveler rod. So that probably won’t work for mine either. I really don’t want to drill holes in my loader. I might be able to drill and tap the other side of the pins and mount leveler rod on the inside of the loader arms.
