The limits on the masses and dimensions of the components of the SS433 binary system derived by Stewart et al. (1987) are improved using an improved Roche lobe geometry. The new limits account for the fact that the accretion disk in the system may occupy a considerable fraction of the Roche lobe component. Using X-ray and optical observations, it is found that the mass of the object is about 10 solar masses, while the length of the X-ray jet is about 1.4 X 10 to the 12th cm.
