David - I would imagine that Cat would stock the dipstick and the price would not be unreasonable. Have you checked price and availability from your local Cat dealer?
Hi Oz
Our local Cat house is not that great.
They can usually manage to break what ever they fix and don't seem to like ordering parts for non current.π
Have heard rumors that they have improved in the last 10 or so years----
Guess its time to find out!
Thanks
David
