Jetstar 3 Super

Good day. I was on the general forum and was directed to the MM forum.

I have a 1967 Jetstar 3 Super SN: 28303693.
The engine is a 206H-4 SN 10006391.

Per the book, this tractor came with a spin oil filter, yet there is a canister type, not a spin on. There is no adapter. The center bolt is a 9/16-12 thread. I would like to convert to a spin on, however the adapters I tried have a fine thread. I am making my own adapter, so I think I have this problem solved, only doesn't make sense it didn't come with a spin-on filter??

The starter is a hodgepodge of different starters from previous owner. The starter mounts with a single bolt w/jam nut into the collar of the nose. The book calls for a 10A22619 (Delco # 1103956). There is only one number on the starter, it's a cast #108 on the nose only, no other identification. Pics of the replacement starter show either a two- or three-hole mounting flange. It is a 12 volt system.

Can anyone guide me to an appropriate source for the correct starter? Have tried a few of the popular parts supplies online, yet there is still speculation of what is correct simply because the oil filter is not the correct one.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

It would appear that you have an earlier engine than original. your serial number shows the engine to be a 206 out of a 1957 445, that would explain the different oil filter and the different starter

Tractor data shows it to be a 1968. Looks like a older style engine to me I don't have a list of engine serial numbers but others on here do.

Thank you so much.... so I need to shop for the 445. All makes sense now, I really appreciate this.

Does anyone know if there is a spin on oil filter adapter and filter for the 57' 445? I was going to try and make one from 9/16-12 and 3/4-16 threaded rod. Don't have a lathe to make sure centers are maintained in the rods.

O does anyone know where I can get the filter center bolt 9/16-12 x 6-1/2" to use the old canister? The bolt I have was broke off at the threads.

Thanks

A couple years ago I was looking for a spin-on adapter for my '57 445, and was unable to find one.

As far as the bolt, maybe ChrisQ or one of the other parts guys here will jump in. I'm sure there's one out there somewhere.

I've got a good used bolt. Also have a later oil pump for spin on filter like what your tractor originally would have. Could swap out the oil pump to newer style. Also have later 3 bolt starter crankcase like your tractor originally would have had if you really want to put things back to correct. Located in Jordan, MN. Can ship if need be. Send me an email if you would like, [email protected].

I believe the later 4 Stars used a spin on filter, but you may have to change the whole oil pump to get it.
