bucket level indicator paint on the rod

[Cycledude]

My bucket rod is cut at same length as end of tube when bucket is level .... IF rod is poking out of tube bucket lip is up, if rod has disappeared into tube bucket lip is down....

Seems to work exactly like the rod on my LS Tractor, very handy to have I use it a lot, mine is sort of a galvanized or gold color and I have no trouble seeing it.

I use colored electrical tape to mark the different levels of different stuff I have on the SSQA adapter on my FEL.
