Mf65 Engine oil dipstick

[mountainman90]

Can anyone give me some pictures and measurements for the engine oil dipstick for a MF65 gas with continental engine. This tractor I bought has a threaded pipe with a pipe plug in it with a stick that doesn't look correct.

Just saw this post at 9:18 pm. Will get you a picture in the morning.

There are two parts to this. An OEM dipstick is only going to be correct if used with the correct adapter tube in the block that it goes into, and the correct protrusion of said adapter.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I know what I've got is not correct. Does the original dipstick go into a tube in the block, or straight into the block?

This is the set up on my 1963 MF 65 gas.

It looks like the round cap section sits pretty flush with the block. If so, I can make something work with the measurements you gave
