oil filter modification?

Braxmaier........while there are "kits" that you can use to adapt the common P-8 screw-on oil filter, most don't. Oil flow is bassackwards, in the center and out the side pleats. Didja know the current drop-in filter is also used by Mercedes Benz? Just change yer oil while hot every fall so you gitt ridd of acid which is a by-product of combustion. In 1939 Ford specified 30wt detergent, and recommended adding a qt of kerosine fer winter time, modern multi-vis is much better. I use 20-50wt, while TOH likes 10-30. Ya pays yer money and makes yer choices ......oily Dell

suppose, that by 'regular', that you mean spin-on, as a 1010 in the canister is certainly "regular'. I wouldn't waste my time & money, because of a yearly filter change, because of the looks of them, because some of them make a bigger mess than the original when removed! Your time, your money, your call.
 
another polarizing subject.

original configuration work? of course.

some folks want to change it? yes.

which way is right? whatever you want.

if you really want to go to spin on; check this out. no mess oil changes. and yes it has a built in flow restirctor. be ready to do some minor plumbing modifications.

There's always someone who wants to re-invent the wheel. When spin-on oil filters were first advertised to replace the original N-Series type with, I laughed. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Simple logic dictates, but like the others said, it's your tractor and your money so you make the decision. I can think of only about a thousand or so other things I'd spend my money on...

Brax, The same filter on your 9/2/8N also fit my
356 Porsche and my 1970 220 Mercedes. I would
think of changing them!
 
HCooke, It also fits my 1969 220D Mercedes Benz.. I like that both of my toys have the same oil filter...

Thank you very much..
 
Here's what I did, I replaced the oil canister

drain plug (1/8 npt ?) with a petcock
valve

It's cheap, simple, doesn't significantly
alter
the originality, and it greatly
simplifies a
filter change.

Now it is much
cleaner and simpler to drain the
oil from the
canister.

Hmm,

I can't see how to edit my prior post, and YT seems to think they know more about my URL than I do :) :)

Let's see if this picture link works.

I would buy a few at half of that price . That is a convenience that I would enjoy , I don't care for cleaning out the bottom of the canister or waiting for the oil to finish dripping out of the bottom plug .
I don't think I would worry about the engine not being primed on start up though as stated in the advertisement .
 
When I rebuilt my 51, I bought a spin on adapter. I like it, and I always fill the new filter before I put it on. Less time to wait for the filter to fill. I did run new oil lines though. I can't see anything wrong with this set up, even if it's not OEM. I haven't had a single problem with it.

It is a passive oil filter system so you do not have to prefill the filter , unless you want too . The bearings will get oil as soon as the pump starts pumping oil regardless of how much oil is in the filter system . The early governors did not get oil via the return line so a minute wait there should be OK.

Some of these adapters do not have a restriction (.041 ??? maybe ) which would allow a pressure drop in the oiling system .

Some of the ads I have seen talk about dry start up from not having a flow back valve built into the filter , which is not applicable on these motors .
 
Yea, I know, but it's a habit I have done for years with my cars and trucks, and old habits are hard to break. It doesn't cost me any time as I fill the filter while the pan is draining.

till set a battery on a board instead of concrete or earth, too, Dave? :lol:
 
How did you know?? HAHA Yes I do. My Grandad worked for Diller Battery many moons ago, and he drilled it into my head. Never leave a Battery on the Concrete. He never said anything about the dirt though.
