Can someone explain this bracket?

[igizzzmo1]

I looked down to find this bracket bent and dangling. Tried hooking it back up with a new bolt and bent the crap out of it. I don't see its purpose?

The stick that is on the right of the tractor when at the wheel - what does it do ? 3rd function valve?

Need a wider shot, doesn't look familiar to me.

Could it be a bucket level indicator? It looks like it may have attached to the bucket.

Ok, bad guess on the first attempt. Looking at it on my tablet now. I'm thinking that it is for your load level indicator for the bucket. With out seeing the rest of the linkage, I'm not positive.

It did move back and forth with bucket. I don't get how a thin piece of metal can level loads. The hydraulics will override that little thing. I am new to this tractor but I have been running full speed ever since I got it.

I typed what I thought at first, it was a leg that holds the FEL up when not in use, then after looking again, realized that was not it ....noticed the control arm at the top......I too thought it was a level indicator!

It's an indicator. Not a leveler. It indicates, you level--or not!!!!

D2CAT is exactly correct. It hooks to the bucket to run the bucket level indicator that is attached to the right loader arm which when adjusted properly will indicate when the bucket is level. When set up like it should be is a handy thing to have. After you get it hooked back up there is a little procedure to adjust it correctly.

Bucket level indicator. The hole just above the pin on your front end loader is where it hooks into.
The end of the rod should not be bent. It should be straight.

IF you go to Kubota.com Parts for the B2650 and look at the local options for the lA535 loader you will see the parts you have lost

To further explain the level indicator, when you get it fixed it should be adjusted to indicate when the bottom of the bucket is level when on the ground. When you are picking up material off the ground like gravel, sand, mulch, dirt.... it helps the have the bottom of the bucket flat on the ground. On most tractors it is hard to tell if the bucket is level from the seat. If you do a search on level indicators you can find some additional information.

Thanks everyone for the info.

I'll bet there's a pretty good explanation the the owner's manual.
