Hey redneck1 - welcome to HEF!
Super K with phase 3 transaxle is checked with engine stopped - I usually check them 1 or 2 mins after stopping the engine, so the convertor & oil cooler are near filled.

Phase 3 has 4 speed coming out of dash - model before it comes from the floor.

if the 4-speed shifter comes out of the "side dash" on the right fender, it is a phase 3, and you check it like alrman said. The dipstick is behind the seat, in front of the backhoe controls, through a hole in the floor.

oh, and don't be cranky, be happy and friendly
