Checking the oil
In the manual it refers to a dipstick on the 300, BUT I can't find one all i have are upper and lower test cocks. Is there one hid somewhere I can't see or did the test cocks replace it?

Re: Checking the oil
I’m not familiar with a 300 but if I had to guess it would be the other way around, the dipstick replacing the test cocks.

Re: Checking the oil
Well what I did for a cheap and easy fix and use this idea at your own risk was I just used a zip tie. You can find really long zip ties like 2 feet long. And if you're really nervous about it zip tie it to a screwdriver or something and dip it down in there. That way you won't lose the thing. But like I said it's just a cheap and easy fix to help you on your way
Favorite quotes by me. If you want to you can but if you don't you wont... most possibly yes but maybe no.... and as always buy guns keep America free

Re: Checking the oil
I think the answer is a tractor has either/or. I just use the pet cocks on the Super C and they work fine....until it is really cold and then it can be a long wait for the molasses... or run it for 15 minutes and then check.

Re: Checking the oil
IH didn't add a dipstick to tractors until the 350. Older ones might have it if the owner added it, or the engine was replaced with one out of a combine.

Re: Checking the oil
One exception to this would be the Cub. I've had a Cub for a few years (a '51) and was used to checking the oil with it's dipstick, so when I got my '51 H, i looked and looked for a dipstick. Finally resorted to checking the manual (Matt Kirsch wrote:IH didn't add a dipstick to tractors until the 350. Older ones might have it if the owner added it, or the engine was replaced with one out of a combine.
) and lo and behold, no dipstick!"That's the great thing about a tractor. You can't really hear the phone ring."
