Jfields 4 #1 Posted June 1, 2021 I recently purchased a 1980 1100 special in very good condition. I have been able to find parts for it. I am however coming up short in finding a new dip stick for the transmission. When I checked the oil the dip stick had signs of rust on it. I have since drained and flushed it out and put in new oil. Would like to replace the dipstick if I can.. can anyone point me in the right direction? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Adanick 32 #13 Posted June 4, 2021 I'm Paul Adanick from Nicholasville, KY. I've been wanting to restore a small tractor (preferably Wheel Horse) since 1985 and finally bit the bullet. I found a still running 1967 Lawn Ranger that I'm doing a frame up restoration on and having a blast. Glad I found Red Square as a resource during this adventure. Already can't wait to start my next one... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
