I have a Husqvarna riding mower with a Kohler Courage engine, model SV610. My husband broke the dipstick off at the top into the crankcase and we can't get it out.
Since it is plastic we can't use anything magnetic. I did try a reacher tool, grabbed it twice but since it's so long couldn't maneuver it.
I then tried to find my misplaced telescoping camera to see where it was which I couldnt find right then. Asked my son to come help, so I drained the oil before he had come over because it was getting dark. I eventually found the telescoping camera and found the dipstick resting on a part. He says it's toward the front of the engine. So we added oil back to it but it's not moving back toward the mower.
Can we do this on our own or do I now need to take it to a shop? I did all this work on it myself (oil change, replaced belt, replaced motor mount screws) because I didn't have extra money for someone else to do it.
These are bad pix but shows where it's laying.
