Went by the Kubota dealer today and bought a level indicator for my fel. took about 5-10 minutes to install, and works great. cost $75. well worth it for me, as my bucket skills needed improvement.

Yup, simple & easy mod. I'm thinking of making index marks on the rod to indicate level when the forks are at certain heights from ground level.

My B2650 came with a level indicator, a rod that lines up with a metal piece. Is that what you are talking about? Haven't used it much but can see where it would be beneficial when using FEL.

yes, that is what I am talking about. I have a L2501, not a lot of extra's on it... heck, I had to buy the handle that goes on the right fender... lol

I just picked this up last week, but this is my first tractor, and assembly instructions were not included. I’m a complete newbie. I’ve searched, but haven’t been able to find any sources for assembly instructions. Any sources, or tip a for me? I have an L3901 with the LA525 loader.
