Who ever designed the placement of the oil dipstick on the T-Boss 550 should receive an award. He couldn’t have placed it in a more inconvenient location. Has anyone figured out an easy way to check your oil in these machines? Guess this is the place you refill also!

I have the same issue with the dipstick on the Kawasaki 4010 TransMule with the tilt bed down.  I can remove it easy enough, but putting the two piece clipped together flimsy dipstick back in a hole you cannot see without standing on your head is a near impossible challenge for a 76 year old fat man.  90% of the time I have the backseat in place not needing the bed space, so the exercise takes 30 minutes, and I do mean exercise.  I usually wait for my son to visit and have him do it.  The great news is it has never needed oil between changes, still.

Is there a trick or hack (in today's ridiculous vernacular) that would make it easier?

      Snow Blade for Coleman Outfitter 550?
      By Alien10
      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      Adding Power Steering To Sector 550?
      By Cletus
      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?

      Please help 2021 Axis 750 crew won't shift into gear and found milky oil on inspection
      By BMurph
      Hello everyone! I am new here and have no experience with UTVs but I am quickly getting some. I have a shifting problem where I can shift through all gears without the engine running but as soon as I start the engine I can not select a gear. Yes, foot is on the brake and yes the pin is being pulled to go into reverse if I was to try going into reverse. The shift lever does not move. I adjusted the linkage to get more accurate shifting with the engine off so I know those are now correct. I opened the shift lever housing to inspect the teeth on the gear and found this picture below. Why is this oil so milky looking? I assume with oil like this I'll need to replace the wet clutch as well but am not positive. Does anyone have any input into how to flush this system and get things shifting correctly? Thanks in advance for all the help!
