Hi, ive read lotsa threads about the oil filter, reverse flow. Some say you need a special filter, others say that new filter technology allows use of regular filter. So, what filter is to be used and where to acquire. thanks
 
don't think the one it calls for is readily available. When shopping for one fram, and NAPA are the easily avail ones.
 
Bones, Read this, /http://fergusontractors.org/nfs/correct-to-20-oil-filter/
I am going to try to stay with filter designed to filter from the inside out.
 
The "correct" TO-20 oil filter, AGCO Part Number 830910M92, is available from Jack's Small Engines for $23.50. :shock:
I have one sitting on the shelf that I bought a few years ago for about 18 bucks.
Right now I'm running a WIX 51010 (at about one-third the price of the AGCO), and I have 35-40 psi oil pressure. I'm going to install the genuine AGCO filter when I change the oil in my TO-20 a little later this spring, and I'll see if there's any difference in oil pressure. (Since it's a bypass system, and not a full-flow system, I don't expect to see any change.)
However, with the expensive OEM oil filter, I do expect the tractor to start easier and run smoother with more power, and that my hair will become thicker and more luxurious. :wink:
 
From what I read on this subject, it's a matter of the structural integrity of the filter and if it collapses om itself or otherwise physically fails. thanks

Bones, you mentioned that you read the threads about oil filters, so you probably saw the pictures of the WIX, Baldwin and AGCO filters, posted by me and others.
Overall, the "correct" AGCO filter probably looks like the best of the three, with metal inside and out. WIX is metal too, so I don't think either would collapse. (I think the AGCO is a little shorter, so it may fit better.)
 
I've read that article before and re-read again now. The basis of the article is that to only use the AGCO filter, let's face it, expensive and hard to find. I've recently acquired my Fergie but it's an excellent example of a garage queen with very detailed service records, including oil changes. The bulk of the changes listed for this machine for it's life were listed as NAPA and Baldwin filters. Basically what i'm looking for is the best filter short of purchasing an AGCO. After reading these links i'm liking the wix in that it is all metal. thanks
 
well, thanks for that. I had not bought the Champs after some one mentioned the new ones are not as good as old and if they work fine leave them alone. I do like NGK's though.
 
Just scored 3 original AGCO filters for $4 each on fleabay. Will they come with gaskets in original packaging? Cleaned out the guys inventory. That was easy decision. :)
 
I have never had an issue with Champion spark plugs, ever. Many bashers are clueless.
 
In the old days I always went Champ but when I went to Jap bike and modern engines I switched to NGK and always liked them . But with manufacturing quality/price point these days it wouldn't surprise me that Champs are built to cheaper standards nowadays. though no solid evidence.
 
The NAPA filters are made by Wix. For example, the NAPA 1010 Gold is same as Wix 51010. Less than $10 at any NAPA.
 
when i had N series Fords i bought the cheapest oil filters i could get. never ever had one collapse. now that i have Ferguson's i do the same thing. same results. main thing is to get the right size filter. way too much urban legend and hearsay.. IMO
