Hood and side panel?

[Mrprez]

Ok, I know I am not this dense, but how do you get to the oil dipstick? I figured out how to open the top part of the hood, but how to get the side panel off? The manual is less than clear about how to do this. TIA.

Probably should add your model. I dont need to remove a side panel on RK37

I take it he has an RK24 he's asking about

 

[Mrprez]

Yes, RK24, it’s listed on the left.

I made myself go out there and look at things until I figured it out. Surely, there is an easier way? Remove front grill, pop side panel off at the front and then slide forward to reveal the right side of the engine. Dipstick is to the right of the oil filter. Why are there two oil fill ports? One on top and one on the side?

It's a 24 hp sub-compact.

It took me about two seconds to click on a new tab and search for a MT180D. Just saying!

Two fill ports...ease of access. It is too bad the tractor manufacturer didn't have that as a concern.
