Set the dipstick on the front tire. Somehow I brushed it off into the tall grass. Had one H*LL of a time finding it. So it isn't just your DK50...........

Over the 35+ years here I've dropped and lost many small things. But that's a different story.........

Wonder if blade broke off below the bellow/sleeve where it fits on the tube and fell inside, the top falling off on the ground..............Mike

You and my former dealer both gave me nightmares of dipstick in the oil pan...

Does the engine have a crankcase breather system that could be blocked or frozen? I had a Fiat that would freeze the crankcase in cold weather and blow the dipstick out.

Not sure where the breather is. I was worried the extreme cold made it pop out somehow...

Thanks,
David

I have a Massey that I am always worrried will have the dipstick catch on brush and pull it out. Some dipsticks are more exposed than others.
