Working on a few minor issues on the 715 LBH.  It came to me without the bucket rod indicator.  This is an early model - 1975 so the hydraulic cylinders are attached to the bucket.   Can someone supply the dimension of the bucket level indicator rod and its housing.  Am certain that black pipe would work for the rod bucket level indicator to slide back and forth in. 

Any insights would be much appreciated.  Thank-you!  ~ Orangeman

Bucket is partially self leveling as geometry of the arms keeps the bucket in position last used . 
  There is a small tube on right side of frame that a 3/8 " rod slipped through . 
Will have to  look if mine is still there as can't remember last time I actually looked or used it .

I ruined my indicator rod on my backhoe, sure missed it, it was always a guess after that. I never got around to replace it.

Thanks  Coke and Shameless dude - I have a bucket level indicator rod on my 615 and use it quite a bit when grading and filling.  That said, am thinking that since the 715B,C and D series machines went to the cylinders mounted on the tower that the dimension (length of the rod) may be different. 

Appreciate the good insights!  ~ Respectfully, Orangeman

Was checking mine a little bit this AM to see if I could get a picture  - there is a hose clamp on the tip cylinder for bucket , but nothing else , the rod is not there , nor is the tube that was on the cylinder . In fact can't even see where something would have been mounted for bucket end or rod .
 So only thing that is left is the memory of I use to have one .
