I致e had level indicators on my last 6 tractors. Personally I致e never used them

Easier for me to just watch bucket

Like you, I never really use them. On my Mahindra the few times I tried to use it I could never remember where level was. I broke the level indicator on my new Kubota before it hit 30 hours. I took it off with the intention of welding it back. Months later it痴 still laying on my work bench and will likely end up in a pile of stuff I never make it to.

I really appreciate you taking the time to take these... i just don't know they look identical to me. I'm gonna post the same photos in case I'm missing something here.

I don't need them, never have... Which is the reason I'm noticing this 4 years later. I'm just curious why it's not working like it should.

Can you show the dimension from the orange indicator plate to the hole in the loader arm?

Like these?

I've never adjusted the indicator rod since owning but being such a laid back day I decided to. I've read the manual and for no reason at all can explain why I'm unable to make this work. The indicator rod i can get adjusted but the plate I can't. Its almost like the plate isn't long enough. Photo attached is with the bucket level and you can see the plate is out of adjustment. This isn't a needed item but if its on here it might as work correctly. any thoughts?View attachment 651144

Can you try to take a photo from the same angle as the first post. Something is weird.

Everything I've seen so far looks just like mine. I was really hoping for a bracket to be installed incorrectly or something. This is bugging me. It's a easy fix by just building a longer indicator plate but I'm not giving up yet.

That's why I'd like to see a photo like post 1. Kubota acres bracket looks like yours, the orange bracket looks like it is welded in the same position. Somehow the orange tube looks out of position.

It is. My bucket is level in that photo and the indicator bracket which should be parallel with the orange bracket can't be adjusted anymore.

Oops, I meant AllByteNoBark. I'd like to see him replicate the photo in post #1.

Something is goofy with your orange tube.

 

[AllByteNoBark]

Here is one at the same angle.

 

[AllByteNoBark]

I think I see the difference. On mine the lever the rod attached to is straight up and down. Yours is leaning back.

What is the length of the tube/rod connecting the lower set of arms to the upper? Mine measures 28.5 inches center of hole to center of hole.
