Tecumseh 13.5 model OHV130 year about 1999 oil checking

[Teeton]

I just picked up a swisher 60 trail mower with this engine. When checking the oil do I remove the dip stick wipe and screw back in, or wipe and just put stick in till it only just touches the treads?? Thanks

Tecumseh are checked with the dipstick sitting on top of the threads. Briggs is about the only one that you screw down the dipstick to check oil level.
