Hi purchased a ex demo JD3036e compact tractor at the end of last year , its only now that I am starting to use it.The manual says check engine oil on a regular basis, after much searching I have found the dip stick but it hidden behind the side panel , the manual hard back on on line gives no instruction how to carry out the task.I looked to me the only way you can get at it is to remove the side panel which appears to be bolted on in places.Is that correct for it would seem a very bad design fault.There is a black plastic cover below the main green side panel is that was not there you might get at it but if you remove the engine is open the grass etc entering the engine.One final point the machine does have a 305 loader which also restricts access.
