Bucket level indicator 3016

[oldpilgrim]

I want a bucket level indicator on my 3016 and the dealer says there nothing available for a 3016 with the ML115 loader.

Has anyone found a source for these or made one?

What about one from a 3316 ML111 loader? Sort of expensive though at about $55.

I have no idea if it will fit.

The ML115 ram connects directly to the SSQA loader "tool". Some of the loaders connect to an 'idler' for lack of a better term. The idler then connects to the bucket.

Got a picture of an ML111?

It connects at each hydraulic pin location, top & bottom. Here is a link that shows partial shots and the pic below. When fully extended, it is 41" pin-pin.

Sorry about that, got side tracked. Here is that link.

No link shown ...only a picture.

But that looks like what I need.

I'll do some measuring.

Thanks !

My JD dealer wanted $60 for one for my 4200 so I walked outside looked a couple on the lot then made my own.

My thoughts also, but since they dont , make one for the 3016 and the others on the lot have the 'idler', I really don't have one to copy.

Just a tube and a rod with washers to fit the loader pins. Very simple.

I agree,pretty much all there is to it.
