Bucket level indicator

[Mark.georgetown]

Does anyone have the same problem w/ the bucket level incator not reading correctly, at -3/4". I purchased a New LS122 and found w the bucket properly level the Rod was down in the tube 3/4". The Dealer said this is because of the new Quick attach, the fit tolerances were never updated from old attach structure. LS s/have issued a new part 40459039 + 3/4".

Is it not adjustable?

It should be adjustable..... the one on my MT125 was adjustable. They are the same tractor....

Cut the tube off 3/4" and be done with it. We use six tractors at the farm. None have bucket level indicators on them. Other farm I frequent has three loaders, no indicators. We load and haul 4-5 hundred loads of manure, truck loads, each season. As you can see, no indicators.

Fix indicator and move on... I made one for my tractor because it did not come with one...

Welcome!

As mentioned, it should be adjustable and it is worth getting it adjusted. After having them on both loader tractors, you really rely on them. I wouldn't be without them now that I've gotten used to them.

Yes, all responses are reasonable! As an/mechanic I have no problem fixing This/That. However, for a New vehicle I would expect proper working configuration
. This Level indicator does not work at all, no adjustment, not addressed in the manual. I never had an LS tractor and i,m not calibrated to them nor understand how they control details of hardware. The Dealer said they will communicate the finding and agree it warrants part update! I will TIG a solution and move on to doing the dishes! Tks, all.
