On one of our 185 tractors, the tube that holds the dipstick and protrudes through the block into the oilpan has become loose.  Anyone know of a way to tighten this up without using JB weld as someone at the dealer suggested.  Thanks, David

Clean both surfaces and use red loctite.

Take a wedge-type concrete anchor just small enough to fit in, and run a screw into it. You can do the same by sticking in a smaller aluminum tube and doing the same... or run a lag screw in it. I've warmed 'em up red and stretched dipstick tubes a smidgen with a phillips screwdriver... and then apply any favorite concoction of techno-spit to it. I like two-part epoxy, but any techno-goo will doo.
Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

Thanks for the input guys.  As soon as I get my gasket for the oil filter housing, this will get due attention.  Of the three 301 engines we have, this is the only that has loosened up.
