bucket level indicator

Nyquil Junkie · May 29, 2023

I'm trying to come up with a way to DIY a bucket level indicator on my Wagner WM3 jungle jim loader...

Anyone here ever rigged one up? I'm interested to see your ideas.

Why not stop at a couple of tractor
dealerships and peruse the equipment on
their lots to see what has already been
invented, and adapt the ''best'' design
to work on your loader?

Early industrials had a leveling indicator on the side of the
frame arm

i discovered that the buckets position when fully pulled back is pretty much level. The amount of slop in it, when you raise the arms drops the edge about an inch, the edge is sitting on the ground and the back is just a wee bit off the ground.

So all I need to do is put a mark on the pivot, and raise it just a tiny bit to make it dead level. If it didn't have any slop in the pins, it would probably be level by default when the arms are down and the bucket is on the ground.

Problem solved with a paint marker.

A mark from pivot onto frame is a low tech solution that should work
