M4900 Part Question - Pics Included

[GCFarms]

Anyone know what's suppose to be in this hole? Its a small hole in the transmission housing under the floorboard that spits hydraulic oil on my boots. Am I missing a dipstick or is there suppose to be a breather tube? I looked all through the parts manuals and can't find anything. My local dealer had a m4900 on the lot and it was also missing whatever part this is. Any ideas? Thanks!

My b7800 has a dip stick in that area. Maybe look on Messick website for your dip stick and location

Yup, that's where I store my M4700 dipstick.

Yep, appears to be the transmission dipstick hole. But looking at the parts book, it doesn't show in that location. Please provide your model and serial number from the ID plate.

There is a dipstick on the rear near the PTO (pictured below) and it fits the hole in question diameter wise but the handle does not fit, so maybe a different style or size dipstick? Still havent had much luck looking at parts diagrams and local dealer couldn't find it either.

160 - "PLUG"? here

There are also a couple of plugs on the diagram above this one in the parts lookup -- they're a bit further back if I'm looking at this correctly and may be closer to the location on yours...
