- Kubota L4600H
Just going through this with an L4600. I noticed that the dipstick on the left side of the engine had popped up off of its seating. thought it was odd. Later was looking at something else and noted the gaping hole on the right side where the engine oil fill port is located. Took me lot of frustration to find the right part because it doesn't look like what it is in the diagram -- in the diagram it looks like a threaded bolt, not a ribbed plug.
Horrible design-- must have had some pressure build up and popped it out of there along with the dipstick.
BTW, two years ago I had lost the dipstick. I asked the local Kubota dealer mechanic about it and indicated I check it before every use and had not laid it aside. He gave me a knowing look and sold me the $43 replacement dipstick.
Part# for my L4600 is #1J860-33140 PLUG, OIL FILTER.
It looks like the part# fits a lot of models. I've noted several youtube videos of later model L-series oil changes and on those models the oil plug is a black, threaded oil cover -- same size as the hydraulic oil cover on the back of the L4600. But there are no threads on the engine oil port.
