I need to make my own dipstick and need help. If you have a 485 or one with same engine, could you give me the measurements
on your dipstick please:
how far down from the top of the fill tube to the top of "Full"
how far down from the top of the fill tube to the top of where it needs oil added.

I have found that 3/4" PVC (sched 40) fits down into the tube, and with a PVC cap on it has served me for a year since my dipstick went missing. I plan to drill a hole in the middle and thread a rod that, with your help, will be marked and held in place in that PVC cap with a nut underneath and on top, then bend the rod in an L shape above that to aid in removing it to check the oil. If you have a better idea, feel free to share. Thanks.
