Ferguson to30 oil change troubles

So i finally got all the stuff to change the oil and filter on the to30.
Put new filter and oil in and started up and oil was pouring out of filter housing. I bought yhe filter off of this site. It came with 3 rubber gaskets..one was an o ring that didnt seem to fit anything the other was way too big and the one seemed to fit inside the filter housing cap...i played aroud a bit and got it so doesnt gush ..just a slow drip out of back of housing now...before all the oil was coming right from the housing cover.
The old gasket was cracked so cldnt reusse
It didnt leak before


Am.i bettr off just getting a spin on filter adapter?
 
I have had better luck using napa gold or wix filters for my old TO35 with cartridge filter.

you have to have the right gaskets, maybe someone placed the wrong gaskets in the box

my tractor has a washer and spring that goes on first before the filter, as I understand this spring forces the filter up against the motor block forcing oil to travel through the filter.

without this spring and washer keeping the filter against the block oil would just circulate around the filter. therefore no filtered oil. who knows

its very easy to lose this spring and washer as you discard the old oil and not realize it.
