Oil stick reading level
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:31 am
Hey folks.
I'm getting ready to do some hard work with the 1200 Cub Cadet this weekend. Before doing so, I want to make sure the oil level is up to par. (This is my very first Cub Cadet, so bear with me).
When I try to read the dip stick, one side with the indicators says the oil is right on the mark. But, if you flip the stick over, the other side reads about 1/4" lower. Since I plan on working the Cadet hard this weekend, I certainly want to make sure the oil level is in good shape. This reading is consistent whether I clean the stick off and get a fresh reading with the cap fully inserted, or just by letting the stick set for a day or so and then just pull it out and do a reading.
Engine is a 12 HP Kohler, K301AQS, spec # 47541d.
Thanks for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.
