Hi wondering if anyone could tell me what the actual measurement from the top cap/stopper to full mark measurement is. The dipstick on my machine was missing the cap and was full of grease. I flushed out the grease, filled with correct amount of oil, but want to confirm the correct dimension for a new stopper/cap on the dipstick. I think I was running it too full, as it would puke oil out the dipstick occasionally. There might have been some residual grease in the case. Bought the machine last year for my farm (land clearing), trying to correct some of the past "fixes". Also, another stupid question, where is the upper swing gear access hole. I can't find it, manual shows it, but doesn't really landmark it on the machine. Tried to pressure wash out areas it might be, was a log processor most of it's past life so extras have been welded on here and there for the additional hydraulics, could be hiding the access panel.
Thanks
