I know this has been mentioned before, but I need to know about the B2601 tractor with a LA435.
I built a level indicator for my L series tractor I used to have and it worked great, but I want to add one to the new B2601 now. I don't really need it so much any more, but it would be nice for a reference point as well as a good tool for the wife when she is on the tractor and I tell her to get the bucket level.
I used a threaded rod bent at one end to an "L" shape and clamped, and then running up a PCV tube with orange and yellow markings at the level point. Now that I have the B2601, the same configuration is not possible. I saw one where someone used two diameters of PVC pipe one into the other, But did not save it. It did have a simple hanger clamp holding one tube. That's all I can remember.
Any help with a good mounting idea is appreciated.

I like the style where there is a little notch in the rod that gives a little hiccup when the bucket is level. Simple to make.
