Here is a link to the manual for your 147. Look on page 27-28 which specs indicates 3 pints of oil for your engine. I suggest you change or measure the quantity of oil you have in the engine and then see how the readings on short dipstick corresponds with the specs.

I'm taking the the approach of answering your question with caution. I have no idea if you even have the original dipstick for THAT short tube the PO installed. If the dipstick is the correct part for that tube, then you should be pretty good and 3 pints of oil will be correct (give or take a little).

The correct dipstick for that engine is # A-237282

K321. A. Serial. 2267911. Spec 6099A
BTW: the K321-6099A is NOT a IH/Cub Cadet OEM engine.

Why do you want to check the oill in an engine that has a broken rod in the 1st place is beyond me.

I think the K321-6099A is the original engine. Top dip stick is for adding oil, bottom is for checking.

Here's all I have for a long stick. Looks like it broke. There was not much oil in the motor to measure. Now you understand my confusion. I also read where Kohlers had different oil pan and different oil capacities.

Ok I'll chime in.
Does this engine have a broken connecting rod inside the engine?
or do you mean the long dipstick rod seems broken?
If it has a broken connecting rod are you planning on repairing it?

If you are not the original owner like most of us are not, so many things can, and do get changed over 40 + years.
I'll stop there so you can reply and we can continue to help.

Connecting rod is broken. I have parts ordered. That long dipstick was also broken.. I don't know why it was broken. I can check the oil level with the short stick if thats what its made for. The 2 sticks had me baffled. Why 2 sticks. I am 99% certain this tractor is all original. Its in amazing unmolested cond.Been sitting for many years.I believe the rod broke in the motor back when tractor was fairly new and never ran again.

Thank you for the clarification, it is possible the dip stick broke when the rod hit it,OR the stick broke causing the rod to break when they got together.
But we could theorize till the cows came home.
As mentioned, you could put in 3 pts of liquid, and see what is indicated on the short stick.
Normally, only 1 fil/check was provided on those, but it has been determined your speck number, is not what it was built with.
We can only guess if someone changed the tag or changed the whole fan/flywheel cover. or even "borrowed" the original engine for another project as commonly done
but again we have no way of knowing.
Just be careful that the parts ordered and subsequently replaced, do indeed fit correctly.
I have personally built a kohler from ebay parts, and while it runs well it has some upgraded things that might confuse one that is not familiar with them.
Hope the crank is ok and it didn't hurt the block like some do.
FWIW: an ebay seller, bakt4kids provides good engine kits using proven aftermarket parts at reasonable prices, some here have used him with no complaints.

I am positive this is the engine that came from the factory despite what any tag numbers indicate. As for the broken rod engine looks great inside. No signs of wear. Appears they never checked the oil. No signs of oil leaks anywhere. Dipstick had nothing to do with the thrown rod.Like I said tractor shows no signs of being used much at all.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
