Sorry for posting here but the Iseki forum seems to be dead. Anyway, I recently purchased a Iseki TU2100F. I want to change all the fluids and filters. Problem is I have yet to get an operators manual. I have a service manual which gives me the vicosities and volumes.However, it does not give me the fuel, oil, & hydraulic filter parts numbers. I know it cross to a Bolens 212/214 and the filters should also be the same as a TU1700/1900. Anyone have these filter crossed over to Napa parts? Also the service manual suggest 90w gear oil for the trans/hydrualic oil (common resovior)....thoughts or suggestions?

OK, now for the dumb qustion. I have been all over the engine and have yet to find a dipstick?....

I can't help you with specifics since I have never seen an Iseki tractor but some general things. Can you get numbers off the filters that are on the tractor now and cross reference them?
Too late now but one of the things I do when looking at any used vehicle/equipment is pull the sticks to see what the condition and quantity of oil is in there. Could be the stick is missing so look for a tube with something in it to block foreign objects from getting in. I would start on the left hand side of the block within a couple inches of where the oil pan bolts to the block.
If you can take photos of top and both sides of the engine so the rest of us can help look. We like pictures.

I doubt this has hit the tractor world yet but some high end European cars are coming with no dip sticks I heard, replaced by an idiot light!

I could tell from the oil breather the oil was ok, no burnt smell, no water, etc... I've been around the block a few times in a drag car so I'm no stranger to mechanics

I found the dipstick last night, hidden down low on the driver side back of the engine. It was hiding behind the loader arm making it hard to spot.
