The dip stick on the transmission is getting ground away. Apparently this is not uncommon, based on researching these tractors. My problem is I cannot tell where the add
line is and where is the full mark is. I have tried to find dimensions online but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know where I can find the dimensions or is someone
willing to measure their dipstick and let me know where add and full should be. Thanks

Yes they do get rubbed away over time and not fitting snug and the one thing you never want to do is pull it while running or try and put it back in while running . Now as for HOW long or where the full line is from the tip ???? i never put a tape to it. It might be time to go shopping at the bone yard for a better one . It set down between gears . The o/rings get hard and then they don't fit snug and then they move. Nobody ever thinks about putting new o/.rings on them to keep them snug fitting . .

I'll get measurements today for you off mine. The 806 looks to be the same stick for reference by looking at both of mine.

A guy might want to file a notch where the lines were,,,,, seems like I've seen that. gm
