MF165 dip stick

[Ranger Red]

I was brush hogging and a stick pushed my dip stick out and I can't find it. I ordered one but it will be several days before it will be here. I was hoping someone could measure thiers and let know the length. Its a MF165 1969 with the Perkins diesel.
That way I can make a temporary stick
Thank You

Put a cork in it until the new one arrives.

hank you for the help now I can see how much oil blew out before I seen it was missing.

when I brushhog with mine I have a bolt about the size of the hole where the dipstick goes and I have put a small o ring on the bolt......use it and check the oil at the
shop with the real dip stick.....also add a small wire so if it jumps out you still have it.....but I like the bolt with o ring the best.
