Hello, I am new to my tractor and to this website. I own 5252 cub cadet with a 812 front end loader. How do I level the bucket? One side is about 1" 1/2 lower than the other side?

Any advice would be appreciated

I'm not familiar with your particular tractor/loader but if it's similar to most other CUT setups there is no simple way to do it, something isn't installed properly or is bent. I think I saw a thread here once upon a time addressing trying to straighten a bent loader, you might search for that.

Try this,,,lower your bucket to the ground in the "float" mode (ie, all pressure off the loader), then take an impact wrench to ALL the loader frame bolts as they seem to get loose over time. I do this every 6 or so months. You may be surprised that some of your frame bolts are only finger tight. BobG in VA

Another thing that impacts the bucket sitting level, is to check that all the tires are properly inflated. I have seen this happen a couple of times. A rear tire that didn't look low, but was down several psi, caused this same issue.
