BACKHOE PART ??

[DIRTCUTTER]

kb2375 Backhoe What is the part that is attached to the dipper that tells you when the bucket is level to the ground. Its a rod that slides in a tube. I looked in my parts manual no luck.I need to replace it, bent all to heck.

Never seen a level indicator on the backhoe...They are on the front loaders.

Bucket level indicator.

If the rod is all that is bent or even the tube, you might be able to weld the bracket on to a steel rod and/or tube from the hardware or steel supply store and make a new one. Maybe even make it out of stainless. Just a thought if you or a friend has a welder.

Do you really need it as front top edge of the bucket really tell you the angle your hitting the dirt with, i never really use the bucket level rod thingy.
