I will have to check when I get home. Thanks.

so do you see it or not? its on the engine on the starter side and is under the cap...made onto it/. The trans stick in ontop of the transmission below the front of the seat?

And claifornia, i was under the assumption that any threaded dipsick should just be inserted in the hole not treaded to read. I forget where i read this..i use to thread into read but that is harder and more timeconsuming and really it makes more sense to design it to just put it to the treads and pull out to read it.

All Japanese threaded dipsticks just sit on the threads for checking.

Engine. I swear I can't find an oil dipstick. All I see is like a filler hole. That's it. Thanks.

Where is your filler hole? The dipstick is right beside the filter.

...threaded dipsticks just sit on the threads for checking.

Page 67 of my YM240 operator manual agrees with this: "Insert dipstick to rest on threads but do not screw it in. Oil level should be between full mark (upper) and end of dipstick." This is also the procedure for checking the transmission lubricant. It also matches with procedures I have read in operator manuals for ATVs and motorcycles with threaded dipsticks.

It's good to see there is a definitive answer for this.

Now - what about the rubber-plug type of dipstick? Push it in or let it rest on top also? Is there a Yanmar source describing this?

I am guessing that on my YM1700 Aka YM195 with the rubber plug type dipstick it should be pushed in. My reasoning is that the oil spec in the YM195 manual calls for 1 gallon of oil. When freshly changed with a filter it is right on the full mark. However, i doubt that 1/3" is that critical.

I referenced the same dip stick that hoye shows in this post http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/oil-fuel-lubricants/331320-yanmar2000.html?highlight=#post4044587 Maybe someone has removed it and installed a plug (or something) in it's place

i was thinking the same thing, that someone installed something else?
