ebrickley 7 #1 Posted October 29, 2015 I have a 1978 Wheel Horse C141 with a Kohler 14 hp K321AS engine. I have only had it for about a month and did a garage restore on the body. Going to change fluids now and when I unscrewed the oil filler plug, there was no dipstick attached. I looks like the previous owner (who really rigged some things up), must have lost the original. Does anyone know if there is an external tube dipstick for this model? Also, should the filler plug have a dipstick attached to it?Thanks for the help!Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently restored a C101 and it had the plug with the attached dipstick. Check to see if Davoman here on RS might have one available.

MalMac 1,328 #6 Posted October 30, 2015 It should have the external dip stick tube. If it only has the plug that screws into the block, it will have a dip stick pressed into the plug. Some were tack welded. If stick is missing out of the plug, good chance it might be down in the motor. If it's the plug type good chance also it's not the original motor on the C-141, I have had a dip stick come out of a plug and fall down in a motor and it never made a sound. Be careful if that's the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
