Questions
I am attempting to finish the fall harvest and one is doing the ripping for our fall tillage. My question to you, if you are the person to ask is where is the transmission / hydraulic dip stick on the 8400t john deere tractor? I have not been able to find a picture in the manual that came with the tractor that we purchased used a few years ago. Looking at the manual it appears there is not a dipstick. It looks like a sightglass just to the left of the rear PTO shaft.Reference
