DIPSTICK??

[JB4310]

Wish my 4310 had a dipstick, I can't always tell what's going on in that little site-glass.

Hey JB
Funny you should say that,because I am scratching my head too. It looks like it is overfull.

Hey Pipestone
I have a 2009 2520. I looked in my manual and don't see it anywhere. Even if it was,you can barely reach this thing (unless they expect a woman with very small hands to do it) let alone get it out and then replace it

I just went to JD parts and sure enough it's in the transmission housing parts breakdown,but it doesn't have a part number. That tells me, no part number means it doesn't exist!

Greg

JD Parts shows the part number as M807561. $23.65 !!

I'm kind of curious now.

So ain't I.

As shown in my previous attachment, the complete dipstick is item number 25. The individual parts of it are 31 and 32 which are not available separately. If you are registered with your password to JDP, you can put M807561 into Search By: JD part number and come up with availability in your local dealer stock along with price.

Thanks JD755
I didn't notice the "assembly" item 25

Ahhh, right you are. Not a big deal to me but this brings to mind a number of things where the documentation doesn't match the equipment. For the most part, I think the changes are design improvements where the manuals just haven't caught up yet. This occurs in Orange, Blue and Red equipment as well.

That's another downside to constant model changes...the documentation doesn't keep up with what's produced.

Looks like JD Parts calls it a dipstick.

At least it's short enough that Castrol Jimmy won't use it to whip someone with.

I can't speak for the 2520 or their manual, but I can and do agree it is a bugger to use. However, I trust it much more than the sight glass. The only time the sight glass and the dipstick agree is when they have been sitting for about four hours or more-on level ground.
