Hi Tom
I have had several Kubotas over the years. All of the dip-sticks have been straight. Yours probably got bent just enough for it to come in contact with a crank counterweight. I would straighten it out (then visually check for any stress cracks) , put the proper ampount of engine oil in and see where it shows on the stick. It will probably be just right.
