Dump question.

The engine oil dipstick an my L3010 Kubota is VERY hard to pull out. The second time and from then on it's ok. The next time I check the oil it's stuck again. I don't think there is a vacuum holding it in. Is there a solution for this? It makes my fingers hurt every time. I'm sure this is the original dipstick, or am I wrong.

Put some grease on the sealing / retaining.
Area of the dipstick.

I tried that Roger, I didn't help. Thank you for your thought though.

Actually maybe I'll try that again with a different formula grease.

I'd make a T or loop on the end I could hold onto easier. Probably something farmer style.
