I am restoring a 445 that has been sitting for a number of years. Yesterday I pulled the oil filter out and was surprised at what I found. Filter looks almost new.

I think the last tractor that said MM on it was built 1973. I can't guess how long it took for the old oil filters to be used up.

I do remember Daddy ordering a filter for his ZB back in the 70s and it was just a silver canister, not MM colors.

I'd save it if I were you.
 
looks like that filter has not filtered any oil at all ,, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY !!!,, could be a plugged oil port ,, best crank the motor and watch to see if flow makes a complete circle
 
That style logo was used into the early 60s when it was replaced with the "Hot Line Parts" logo. The part # on the filter stayed the same just different printing. I too would clean up the filter and keep it.
 
I have cleaned up much worse looking filters, and put them back on the shelf. I would never run oil through that filter. Its too pretty. back about 10 years ago, i went to an Agco dealer to get a hydraulic filter for my M5. They came out with a pretty little filter, so I went with the parts guy to see if we could find more like it. I think that little filter is about the same vintage as your tractor (late 50's)
