Hello Everyone,
I purchased an oil filter adapter kit for my 1967 4000 3 cylinder gas tractor. Based on what I read and reviewed it looked like it would be pretty easy. Once I got the old filter off It appears that there is a piece that needs to be removed in order to install the spin or filter kit. I've
attached a picture of what I'm looking at. I put a 1.5" socket on the nut/ bolt and could not get to move with a breaker bar with a 3' pipe extension. I won;t say that I really "reefed" on it, but considering the amount of force I put on it without moving it I'm concerned if I go with even
more force that I'll break something on the engine block or ??? any advice here? My thought at the moment is to abandon the conversion kit and return it.
Also have a factory loader that is in the way of easy access to the oil filter so the spin on would be a nice upgrade.
Thanks,
JohnB
