Anybody else having problems reaching the SA 223 engine dipstick? It is at the rear of the engine and is surrounded by cables and linkages. It is impossible to reach with one hand. I have to reach down and try to get ahold of the little knob (no loop) on the end of the dipstick with 2 fingers and under the linkages with my other hand and try to work it out of the hole. Very poor design and frustrating to use, especially if you check your oil often. Is there a longer loop handle available or some sort of farm hack?
