First pic shows FEL control extended and offset. Also built an armrest to give fingertip control. Found factory setup to be anything but ergonomic.

I designed the bucket indicator. Glad someone found it useful. Now I'm going to borrow your 4wd lever mod. ��

The FEL control lever is the most beneficial of all the mods to my 3616. It felt pretty un natural from the factory. I felt like I was operating from the shoulder. Now with the armrest and extended/offset handle I can make very precise, fingertip bucket adjustments. And the 4x4 lever is a lifesaver too. Glad you can use it, Pilgrim. It does make it a touch more difficult to get my boot to the difflock though. might look at relocating things somewhat.

did you go strait to the valve with the loader lever? really like the pin holders and that model has always needed a rear work light for sure

nice job:thumbsup:

Yes. The ball unscrewed. I used a coupling nut to add my offset extension. This extra length gives you more travel before the valve begins to open so I can feather the control very gently. The offset keeps the lever inside the tire path and is inline with the ROPS.
