    Transmission dipstick missing. Kubota m9540-hdc

    Yeah. It was pretty easy to fill this morning. Unfortunately the dealer didn't have a dipstick. I'll have to wait. No I don't have tier 4 emissions.

    Transmission dipstick missing. Kubota m9540-hdc

    Thanks. Your a big help. I will talk to the dealer about it. I've mostly been doing mowing in fairly tall grass, so it's possible that something could have gotten in there. I'll have a look. I will also attach something to the transmission dipstick when I get a new one. Thanks again for your help.

    I was thinking about this. Where is the vent? And really, after only 30 hours??

    L245DT 3pt won't lift

    Looks like there's no power steering according to tractordata. But if the loader is working then I would have a look at the seals in the 3 point cylinders. Not sure what they look like on your old machine, but given the age, I wouldn't be surprised if they were worn out. If other hydraulics...

    Ok. Will do. I was also thinking of spray painting it kubota orange so I can easily see it.

    Transmission dipstick missing. Kubota m9540-hdc

    Okay. So you don't think I should drain it and refill. I don't know if anything got in there. I suppose that it gets replaced at the 50 hour break in service anyway. So it should be OK. Any idea on how I can prevent this again. I was thinking to cut off the loop part of the dipstick so nothing...

    I should mention, I've stuffed a clean rag down the hole just for now, so nothing gets in.

    Transmission dipstick missing. Kubota m9540-hdc

    Uh oh. I was going to do some work today with my kubota m9540 hdc when I found the transmission dipstick missing and a small puddle of transmission fluid on the ground under the back of the tractor. I was doing flail mowing yesterday, and I predict that the dipstick came out (perhaps from a...

    Well, I bought it brand new from the dealer. They are definitely still producing them.

    Kubota M9540HDC operation

    Yep. I sure did. And I've read it. It just seems that stuff like how to actually drive the tractor is not part of the manual. And I know its obvious but there are little details that aren't covered.

    Kubota M9540HDC operation

    Oh really, so pushing the foot clutch is the same thing mechanically as the shuttle in neutral?

    Kubota M9540HDC operation

    Great. Thank you for your help Just another quick question, if I have the shuttle in neutral, can I shift gears, say from 3rd to 4th, without using the foot clutch? So what im really asking is what is the order of the components: engine, clutch, shuttle, main gears, and range gears?
