MF34 Loader Dip Stick Missing

Jaypat88 · Dec 29, 2019

I found a old post in the forum giving the measurements of the dip stick for the MF34 loader. The post stated that the dipstick was 11 3/4" from the bottom of the breather housing to the full mark. 13 3/4" from the bottom of the breather housing to the "add or low" mark. I am curious what this dipstick is made of so I can see if I can make one. It does not look like a straight shot to the fluid from where the breather / fill hole is and the dipstick needs to be flexible to bend around some metal housing? I just drained the loader hydraulic fluid and filled the loader after I attached a MF52 backhoe which I assume had some fluid in it already since I purchased it off another tractor. I put 7 gallons of fresh hydraulic fluid in and the loader and backhoe seem to be working fine but I have no idea what the current level of hydraulic fluid is.

The parts book shows the dip stick hangs on a chain, but no dimensions. Do you have this link to the AGCO site where you can find the parts books for your tractor, loader, and backhoe? https://apb.agcocorp.com/login.aspx?region=NorthAmerica

Yes, I have the Agcoparts book as a resource. Trying to find a replacement or make one.

It was likely a piece of 1/4" steel rod hung on light chain, that would make it flexible. With the dimensions you have, a 6 inch rod with 9 inches of chain welded to it and the other end of the chain hooked to the breather fitting would let you file notches in the rod at the dimensions you have for full and low. That might be worth a try if you don't find one.

The one on ours is flat bar, about 1/16/3/32" thick by 3/8" wide and it hangs on about 3-4 links of similar gauge chain. I think it's about 1-1/2 longer than bottom mark.
