Last week I bought a 1979 Massey 245 from it's original owner. He took very good care of the tractor, but because it is new to me I am in the process of changing all the fluids and filters.
Before I change the fuel filter I have a question I am hoping some of you experts can help me with. In the service manual and everywhere else Iv'e looked the Massey 245 fuel filters show having a glass sediment bowel on the bottom of the filter. The one on my tractor looks like a normal NAPA fuel filter (#3358) with no bowel on the bottom (please see pictures). I cannot find anything on the internet that shows this kind of filter on a Massey 245.
My question is, should I just replace it with the same NAPA filter or should I order the original glass bowel filter that is in the service manual or is it no big deal either way?
Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
