My manual states that the dip stick for the Transmission/Hydraulics shows full and minimum levels. My stick has only one mark. Is this the maximum and the minimum is the end of the stick?. The mark is about 5 1/4" from the shoulder near the top of the stick and is about 7/8" from end of stick. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I found i can prevent breaking the dip stick off by rotating the inspection plate 1 hole aft. I found it does not effect the measurement at all to be of concern and gets the dipstick out of the way. Just an idea I did and works.
Good luck

I'm going from memory (bad) but I believe that the manual states "full with all cylinders extended". That is at the "FULL" mark. Remember that factory fill was 5 gallons of gear oil to take care of the trans, hydraulics and differential. That is the area from just under the steering box to the PTO. If it is 1/2 inch below the full mark, think about how much oil it would take to be full again. I've never measured it but I would expect it to be close to a gallon.
The all cylinders extended is in reference to an implement, like a loader or remote splitter etc., using the tractors system as it's pump an oil resevoir. In this case, if you checked the fluid when all cylinders were retracted, you should be over full on the dip stick.
You may also have an after market dip stick that is not properly marked. The original was made from a round rod that was stamped flat on one side in the measuring area and had a cap knurled on just below the pull ring at the top. It usually gets broken off from foot work on the brake pedals.
Hope that helps.

That mark should be the full mark "with all cylinders extended". The factory dip stick has those words on them above the line. If you are unsure if yours is the original dip stick you can get a new one for about $3.50
