FEL Indicator on a QA

[sbailey]

Just wanted to thank everyone on this board for some great Ideas. It inspired me to create and learn to weld. I wanted a level indicator for my tractor but with the QA bucket and Forks it was kind of hard for me to fiqure it out. When it was all said and done I thought why didn't I think of this in the first place instead of 10 failed attempts and several bent rods. But anyway it is done and at 1:00 am last night I was in the back yard trying it out. I guess there goes my good neighbor award this year. I still have to make the rod shorter and paint the brackets orange, but just wanted to show the brackets that I made and how it connected. Thanks again for all the great info.

Could you shoot some more pics of that. I have a kubota as well and would love to do this. I can't tell in the pics were everything is mounted becuase the pics are so close. Great job - I look forward to seeing a few more photos so i can start on the same project!

Nice job. I like the fact that you used the factory parts to mount the level rod and did not have to weld anything on. When painted it will look like it was factory built.

Good job! That's a very professional looking job.

Thank you for the kind words. I am learning to weld and I didn't want to practice on my new tractor so this is what I came up with and it works very well.
