OT - This problem is not on JD equipment, but it is an interesting one, and others may have run into it!
The oil filter seal is being blown out by oil pressure when operating in our extremely cold weather. The seal O.D. is slightly larger than the oil filter adaptor and the machined face on the oil filter adaptor appears to slope away to the outer edge. 10W30 is being used - as recommended. There is no oil pressure gauge, one will be added.
Anyone else seen this happen?
