Bucket level indicator

[Mtsoxfan]

I have a New Holland TC29D. My loader has the level indicator tube, but nothing attached to bucket. Does anyone have a similar model that can post a picture of setup?
Thanks...

I had a TC29DA at one time but the loader was SSQA. Don't recall whether or not it had a bucket level indicator. P.S. Someone will come along and say you don't need a bucket level indicator. Pay no attention.

on my Yanmar, I knew the bucket level without using an indicator. Just cant seem to get the NH right.

Not sure about NH but if you have a tube, a lot of these will have a rod that slips inside and is adjustable so that it's either flush with the tube or something else do distinguish level.
Pictures are a kubota version.

A little studying of what you have and you should come up with something.

FEL level indicator

I did this on our B2601 Kubota but it would work on almost any machine that does not have a level indicator. Just took 5 ft of 1/2 inch PVC, short 3/8 inch eye bolt, 2 nuts, 2 big washers (B2601 had big holes on each side already), a screw hose clamp, elbow and 2 caps. Use level and mark with...

Bucket level indicator rod---useful?

After some 17 years I finally bent the bucket leveling rod/indicator. Remember looking at the assembly the day I bought the machine thinking it wouldn’t survive. Guess I wont miss it. Made no practical difference on piles of aggregates till I got to the very bottom and then the ground rarely was...

Bucket Level Indicator--A New Approach

I've been filling these cold winter days with fabbing and testing this bucket level indicator. It's an idea from a friend in New York State who built and has been using his for about 10 years. He used connecting rods rather than the 1/16" cable on mine. No particular reason for cable other...

Thanks. The indicator you made looks impressive. Since I have the factory tube, I was just looking for how to hook up a rod. I'll try to figure something out, maybe a NH owner will post a picture before I do...

I sold the tractor but these are the best pics I have. I think the rod went down and fastened into a hole in the bucket just above the cylinder pin.

Rod just needs to be a few (2-5) inches above pin so as bucket rotates around pin, the rod connecting point rotates in a arc to push/pull rod up/down in tube....Just make sure rod is long enough it does not pull out of tube when bucket is in full downward rotation...
