JD 850 Crank Case Oil Level

My '84 JD 850 owners manual states a crackcase oil change with filter should be 4.7 quarts. When I fill my 850 with this much oil it only registers about 1/3 the way up on the cross hatch marks on the oil dip stick. So:

Is 4.7 quarts the correct oil amount, or should I fill it upto the top of the dipstick cross hatch.

Thanks

Scott

Factors such as varying volume capacity of oil filters not to mention that Deere is famous for misprints in their tech literature. ....
