Luthor measuremet will probally be right on , but there is a chance it could be different , I don't remember if the 743 engine was effected but know that 753, 763 had a up grade to the dipstick , the stick use to go right into the block and it was rare but possible that if you went on an angle it would go over the crankshaft and when you started up the stick would beat up against the crank , had quite a few that were very hard to pull out as they where bent up bad , Bobcat came out with a tube insert that acted as a guide and a longer dipstick that was adjusted for the tube length , ------------- the most sure fire way I could see to be sure of where you place your mark is to do and oil change and go with the recomended oil quanity and after startig the engine and circulating the oil , then mark the stick , you can't go wrong like that</p></blockquote><p></p>
