Tires TC40DA Dipstick Length

[Anakist]

Hi All,

Currently bush bashing around on my new 33 acre block in summery Queensland, Australia on my new to me tractor. I am bush bashing through some large patches of weeds (lantana and rubber vine mostly) and I have knocked the dipstick out of the fill tube and lost it.

Can't get any in Australia from either Case or NH so I am going to buy a universal one and cut it to length while I wait for the glacial pace of international shipping.

Can someone please tell me the measurement from the end of the top tube to the full and fill marks?

Thanks!

What year is your TC40DA?
I have a 2000 TC45D I can measure the dipstick on, are they the same? I’m going to guess yes but I’m not sure

G'day Mate,

The pic show my dipstick pic for Ford 1700. It may not be any close to what you have and I just posting it as s a reference. I am sure one of the good lads will post the accurate dimension soon.

JC,


Correction to the OP,My bad! I did not read your post correctly , dipstick shown is my transmission Hyd fluid oil level and not engine oil dipstick.I guess I now should make a record if of my oil dipstick dimension should I lose mine. just one suggestion , I tie off the dipstick with a peace of wire or some twine to the engine somewhere so I have less likelihood of loosing it.

Dont make it harder than it is. If you know how much oil is in the engine now ( mine is at the full mark cold) put the universal stick in and mark it at the top of the oil line.

It looks like many models use SBA 198416630 dipstick. All the TC35 and TC40 models and the Case D/DX 35-40 and Boomer 8N.

I just checked the parts fiche and your right, my tc45d uses the SBA 198416630 as well
It looks like the low oil mark is 3/4” (0.75”) up from the bottom, and the full mark is 2 1/2” (2.5”) up from the bottom

....and the top of the tube is about 14.530" from the bottom.

Unfortunately there is oil everywhere. Down the side of the machine, on the operator platform, on my shoe etc. No idea how much I actually lost. Probably not much but I want it to be accurate.

Thanks to everyone. I will definitely be tying it off this time!
