Kubota LA243 FEL Bucket Level Rod Design

[Usta]

I know this topic has been beaten to death recently, BUT....
I designed and built my own bucket level rod for my Kubota BX2660 FEL and would like your comments. See attached PDF file. I did a lot of testing and experimenting with this design and thought that others could use my design.

Design Features:
Small and compact design matches proportionally to the rest of the tractor.
Short rod length places the indicator in front of the headlights for night time work, and at a comfortable viewing height.
Indicator window allows for fine tuning of bucket downward angle.
Set screw allows for adjusting indicator for use with other attachments.

I have detailed plans in Autocad format also if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the info. I am in the process of constructing a FEL for my bota. I like your design and will probably use it. I am a user of autocad as well but I think your drawing is sufficient. I am making my bucket a quick attach.
