Thanks for the instructions Dennis! I installed the kit on my B7510 the other day. Pretty much the same with a minor dipstick clearance problem due to one less cylinder on the engine. Things are a little tighter apparently!

For anyone looking to do this upgrade themselves, pay special attention to the parts of Dennis' instructions that talk about re-bending the existing dipstick and not installing the new, smaller dipstick supplied in the kit.

I ordered the alternator option on my new tractor and it came to me with the new, shorter dipstick installed. The only problem with that is that I now have to remove the front grille, so that I can then remove the side engine panel in order to check the oil level. With the replacement dipstick, I cannot check the oil by just opening the hood, which is what you can do by following Dennis' recommendations.
