Transmission dipstick broken?

Recommended Posts

How much of the tube is sticking out of the transmission? I should have a dipstick here I can measure if I knew the tube length.

Looks Broken to me.  Save yourself some money open the diagonal plug on the transmission rear left side add oil though dipstick till it runs out plug.  That is full.

Hi Paul and all,

I'm just going over my new-to-me 1971 Wheel Horse Raider 10 6-Speed and noticed the tranny dip stick is completely missing. The dipstick tube on this WH is a long run, exiting behind the seat base. Instead of adding oil through that narrow dipstick tubing, can I just add oil through the diagonal plug opening until the fluid comes up to the threads? That's how I do my '65 Ariens Sno-Thro and my '76 Airhead. Can I just plug the dipstick opening with a golf tee or somesuch so dirt and moisture doesn't get in? Thanks!

Andy
