Hi, Questions for anyone that may know about MF TO20.
1.I went to change the oil & Oil filter. It took some time to locate any filter. (I put in a wix 1107 But it looks nothing like the Wix that came out. Do not have it handy, but may be a WIX 51107? Steel outside with holes in the steel solid casing. Also a recessed area in a mount area. Fram C153 Looks like the exact match by photo pulled up on Frams online site. My Original manual says you MUST use an inside to outside oil filter.)
2. Having waited long to locate a filter, I now have 2 more questions.
1st easy one. Does the screen mesh go in with the solid part with 2 holes inserted towards the top? or do you install the oil filter on the long mounting , then put the mesh screen in, with the closed solid portion towards the ground. It was moved around in cleaning & waiting on filter. I left the open end to the bottom, closed end with 2 holes to the top.
3. There is a steel type canister that rest inside the tractor. This was loose upon removing oil & mount. (Giggles around, but stays inside the tractor.( Upon reinstall, I wanted to be sure this canister? was seated properly. Doing this, I fould 2 small pieces of steel that apear to be clips to hold possibly the canister in place. 1 was mangled, 1 not.
The job is comlete, no leaks, 20 PSI, but Im sure something I did is wrong. IT SMOKES LIKE NO TOMORROW.
Sorry for the length of questions. Photo would be nice, but no luck. Hope I phrased the questions correctly. She ran Beautiful before I decided to change the oil filter. In short,(Outer canister can move, though it wont come out. Is that held in place by clips? Not sure which way screen goes , open end down or up inside the housing. May be correct oil filter, though looks nothing like what came out. Filter ever came with a large round seal, Just a hair bigger the the filter. That wont seal any part described above.) Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Jerry
