Made Bucket Level Indicator.

[Imold]

So I went to the hardware store and bought a 4 foot 1/4 inch rod for 3.50 and a 2 foot plastic tube for 1.58 for a total of 5.08 plus a bit of tax, took and bent the end of the rod in about a 2 inch circle or best I could then fitted it on the bucket pin and after a bit of adjustment I now have a level bucket indicator on my GC1705 for under six dollars, I still need a clamp and a rubber spacer, think I will just cut a piece of pvc pipe and make a spacer with that, for now duck tape holds the tube on just fine and it works perfectly... Here are a few pics.

Looks like it will work just fine! Nice and simple. I had made one for my LS and then realized how much easier it was with the indicator. Why the manufacturers don't put one on all loaders is one of those unanswered questions. I'm sure glad my new LS has one.

Did something similar.... Mostly from found items in junk pile...

For us beginners like me it sure does make using the FEL so much easier.
