need a favor if you have a 1920 w/ 12x4 tranny

Soundguy · Mar 15, 2006

A buddy of mine has a 1920 with a 12x4 tranny.. he broke the 'handle' off his tranny dipstick.. the one near your right toe. he ordered a replacement.. and the database only shows 1 number.. however his new stick is an inch longer. I had a 1920 for a few years but have no idea how long the stick was. The 12x4 tranny is an open sump machine.. not sure about the 12x12... anyone know what the dipstick length is... perhaps someone would be good enough to run out and measure from bottom of stick to the point it enters the 'handle'. My 'guess' is there may be 2 different sticks between the 12x4 and 12x12 models.

I'll pass on any info.. thanks

I will check both trannys out for you tomorrow. Also, I will see if there is a part number on them and let you know.

My neighbors machine is at his sons house so I couldn't get a pic of one out of a 12x4 but here is a pic of mine out of the 12x12.

Thanks for the pic.. I'm sending it over to my friend, it is very possible that the 12x4 and 12x12 have a different sump setup and possible longer stick??

If I get to the bottom of it I'll post back.

thanks

I will keep looking also and see if I can find a 12x4 tranny around here. If I do I will grab a picture of it also.

SoundGuy - I just noticed this thread - Did you get an exact length on a 12x4? If not, I will bundle up (Its going to be around 26!! when I get home tonight) and measure my 1920's trans dipstick.

Not yet.. but if it's too cold... don't go out. Not worth getting sick over.

thanks

It is 8 1/8 inch long. I don't mind the cold(except when my peaches/plums/pears are in full bloom /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif). Had to check on my spring calving heffiers anyway. Bet there are 2 different dipsticks between the 2 different trannies.
