So the dipstick was broken off and I found that the early
2240s had a screw on dipstick, but before the second series
they went to this type of dipstick. The late series had a plastic
bushing and a different plastic dip stick. This one is no longer
available from Deere. Found this one in a junkyard.
Hydraulic capacity is 7 1/2 gallons and I drained over 15 out of this when I change fluid and filter's. Guess they couldn't check the fluid and just wanted to make sure there was plenty in it. Everything works the way it should so I think it's all OK. New to me tractor and mower. Came from an estate and appears to be a low hour tractor.
