Re: Gas dip stick gauge

Like DickB, I'm from New England, and I try to keep things simple. But, on my dip stick, I just notched the edges according to Barnyard's measurements. Then, I just shove the stick down into the tank, pull it out, and look at where the gas level is. If it's around the fourth notch, I conclude there is 4 gallons in the tank. It's really quite simple - I use my fingers to count if I have to, and I don't worry about ink, paint or little Cub logos. Oh, and I keep it in the tool box beneath the seat. So far, I have never forgotten where it is. I'm sure that day will come, however, but by that time, I will also have forgotten where I parked the tractor, which makes the location of the dipstick rather irrelevant!! Al D
