Abstract: A target and plumbing system includes a reflective target which has a reflective surface, a self-leveling plumb line laser pointer which emits a plumb line laser beam having a pathway that is in a vertical direction where the vertical direction is substantially parallel to a gravitational direction, a holding device which includes a first holding element that assists in holding the reflective target and a second holding element that assists in holding the plumb line laser pointer, and a positioning device which includes a first positioning element and a second positioning element where the holding device is connected to the first positioning element and the first positioning element is movable with respect to the second positioning element. The second positioning element is a platform including an open space that defines a horizontal two-dimensional area where the first positioning element is movable with respect to the open space.

Abstract: A linkage support system and method for mounting and supporting a linkage on a work vehicle. The linkage support system includes a load bearing support and a removable linkage pin support rigidly attached to the load bearing support. The work vehicle is, typically, an earthmoving vehicle which includes a frame, a work tool such as a bucket, and a linkage for manipulating the work tool. The load bearing support may be a portion of the frame of the vehicle.
