Is everyone else's RK55 front axle dipstick canted at an angle like mine? Seems like an odd orientation for a dipstick.

Additionally, I'm assuming the two raised areas on the stick represent min and max fill levels, but the manual shows just one max mark, with min being the bottom of the stick.

When I received my tractor back from service it was filled to just below the first mark. I added more to get to the second mark.
