After painstakingly building this motor I got it cranked on the first try. Oil is pouring out of the filter. I have repositioned it and tightened it down I was able to slow the oil, but I can't stop it from leaking. What am I doing wrong?
The block is from a 130, I think the oil cap is from the Super A. It has a filter and a rubber gasket, I checked and rechecked. There is no better way to fasten it then what I have done.
What is going wrong here?
Here's a vid of the first crank:

| Thank you, I had scraped and scraped, then I went out there with some brake clean and a pick and black sooty stuff started to come up. I worked on it for a long time, finally got to metal. It's not gushing anymore and the tractor can be moved, but I think a small amount of oil is permeating.
Thank you all very much for making me understand.
Now if any of you have any tips on how to properly tighten the belt that goes from the crank to the fan I'd love to know what the secret is.

| The fan belt is designed to be much looser than any normal belt. If you put your thumb on the middle of the span between pulleys, and push about as hard as you can with that thumb, it should move a total of about an inch, from the point of contact to the full push. It will feel lose, it is OK. If an inch and a quarter you might tighten it, or might not. If too tight it will burn out bearings in the Water pump. Jim

| The big nut on the side of the head is not supposed to turn. To get the hub loose you need a wrench on the side next to the fanblade and loosen it up then you can slide the fan assy up to get the belt tight. Do no try to turn the big nut on the head side. It is made to slide in the slot.

| does it have the adjustable pulley like an H farmall? you have to adjust the pulley so the belt rides up higher in the pulley to make it tighter.

| First as has already been said be sure the old gasket is not there! Than as the canister starts to get snug spin the canister with one hand as you tighten the bolt with the other hand. I have had to do this on trucks as well as farm tractors. Hope this helps. Also on the Farmall 560D. that is converted to a spin-on I once found an old gasket in that filter housing. Armand

| Even a little piece of old gasket left will result in a oil leak. You
really have to get in there and pick all of the dirt, trash, etc. out

| On my old super C I could not find an extra rubber gasket at all. Ended up using a dentle pick and sure enough it hooked into something. Much to my amazement out came another rubber gasket. Must have been that way for years. No more leak. I watched your vidio and I think you have the same thing going on.

| If you have the old one out you can see metal. The canisters are all the same dia. It can be a problem getting the old one out you need a good pic with a sharp end to get the old ones out and a good lite to see the groove is clean clean clean.

| Tha cap isn't too small. Same as a 140. I have dug down and scraped and scraped and have found nothing resembling an old filter. I bought another filter. I have tried and tried everything, but the oil leaks like a sieve.
I don't know what else to do.

| If the new gasket is setting almost even with the
top of the base or above it, you have 2 gaskets in
there. Dont put the new gasket in and see what
happens.

| You say its leaking. Is the oil coming from base or from the top of filter. If bottom do as others have said and make sure rubber gasket hasn't flipped instead of laying flat in groove. If its coming from the top you may need to clean up washer on top of filter or replace it.

| Like previous poster, make sure you don't have two gaskets. Them old ones get so hard that some think it is not a gasket at all. Have to dig them down to the cast bottom. Put filter housing on without the washer on bolt to make sure it can be tightened down and bolt is not bottoming out. If the filter housing is caved on top, straighten it or get a different one.

| Make sure the seal ring has not been doubled up on top of an old one.
Have seen it happen. In fact last week on a 'C' I recently purchased.
