Mahindra 3510 loader level rod

[Mattyboy936]

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could send me the length and a picture of their Mahindra 3510 loader level rod as well as where the rod is mounted. The tractor I bought..old owner must’ve broken it off for something… all I have is the red support sleeve and I’d love to have a rod to know when the bucket is level. I was planning on making one myself

If your loader is a ML112, the rod has a large flat washer welded to it on the bucket end and mounts to the upper bucket pin. You can simply park your tractor on a good level spot, set your bucket down nice and flat/level and measure how long the rod needs to be to extend out the top of the tube - mine sticks out of the tube approx. 2"- 3" when positioned like I described. When new, I cut a shallow groove around the rod right at the top of the tube and then painted inside the groove so I could know exactly where level (at ground level) was and the paint wouldn't rub off as it went up & down inside the tube - lasted many years. You need to lubricate the rod every so often so it doesn't bind in the tube too. After thousands of hours using my loader, I no longer need the paint to know where level is anymore !!! Good luck on your project.
