Loader level gauge

HomeBrew2 · Mar 14, 2005

I agree Henro, mostly, about nothing being level at my place either, except!, my house pad and a couple of small lawns and some areas that are not level but are smooth and are extremely visible to me and guests. So, do to my lack of skill with the loader, I needed something better than the factory indicator to keep me from gouging the turf/soil. I wasn't sure if the rod-in-tube type gauge would be that helful or not so I didn't want to invest much time or jack in it ... but, it really is very helpful.

Well there you go a perfectly good explanation to my question concerning your level indicator. Mine uses a rod with a V bent in it. You can see it in the picture. The point of the V indicates a level bucket and it's pretty easy to use, but I guess it boils down to whatever works for the individual.

Update: I did figger out how to mangle it up. I was brushing my creek yesterday and sometime after the incident, I noticed the rod was mostly hanging out below the tube in kindof a kinked, spiral sort of a wad. In a semi-rage, I just yanked it the rest of the way out, straightened it out, mostly, and replaced it back in the tube ... worked as new since.

Can't you buy a plastic model like this that you can attach? I've seen some pics of it on TBN but I can't find them now. I'd like to intall one on the BX.
