I have the tube and rod arrangement on both my loaders (came that way new) and what I did was paint different colored bands on the rod to level the forks and bucket.

When I have the bucket hay spear on, I just use the edge of the bucket to level the spear for insertion.

I used blue for the bucket level and green for the forks. With a cab tractor and a square hood, pretty hard to see the bucket so the rod arrangement works for me.

The M9 has a conventional loader but the 105 has a self levelling loader and that makes levelling easier.

I bought the Kubota FEL level kiy for $65.
Worth every penny, and easy to install.

I was unpleasantly surprised when I saw Kubota did away with the sliding rod level indicator that came on every one of my Kubota's in favor of the flat plate thing that I could not see even if it was there.

Like I said, I use different color electrical tape to set the level of the bucket, the forks or now the snow plow.

Now it's a 65 buck option... Should be standard. They are on John Deere...lol

I don't have the part # on me as the tractor is at my farm.
I bought it from my Kubota dealer.
It is installed on my L4701 HST.

Thanks. Orange1forme directed me to your thread. Can’t find the kit anywhere, but I would guess it won’t fit on my BX.

I have had this one from American Solutions sitting in my garage for over a year. I wasn’t wild about drilling my bucket back then. I just went out and looked at it again and I might be ready to try it out now that I’m not so worried about keeping the paint immaculate.

My Kubota dealer looked it up on their computer and had one in stock.
I will see if I can get a part # for you.
