Bucket Level Indicator Adjustment for Grand L

[kubotacres]

Looking at the pics, aren't the very lowest links different between the two of you? Everything else looks the same.

Measurements show to be the same

I stand corrected. The mystery continues ...

well it is what it is... With that said, I shortened the lower linkage bracket and problem solved. I guess I'll never know what caused this but oh well.View attachment 651758View attachment 651759

same here. bucket is down and bottom lip is level. what style bucket do you have?

I have the 72 inch flat back.

Looks like your fix took care of it. Kind of strange. Be interesting to have them side by side and compare.

I have a 40 series and the level rod is much simpler. I think the reason for the complex linkage is that your new style linkages probably indicate bucket level even when it is up in the air. mine only indicates level at whatever height you adjust it to level.

your plated bracket does look bent but not enough to make it come up short by what looks to be at least 3/4 of an inch.

Which plated bracket are you referring too?

Self leveling loaders need the self leveling mechinism attached up at the top of the loader mount pillars to react against. I'd have to look at mine, which is elsewhere at the moment. But I dont think there is any linkage at that end to make the indicator self leveling.

the plated bracket on the end of the indicator( the business end where you look to tell when the brackets are lined up). hard to describe without a common terminology of parts.

Fallon, so you are saying that your indicator does not indicate bucket level at various heights.

I don't understand why the linkage is so complex then.

Gottcha. That bracket isn't bent. may look like in the photo though.

I was wrong. It does connect to the tower for self-leveling only on the indicator. I was only remembering the top rod, not he bottom linkage.
