Im working on my first tractor, 51 John Deere b. When I bought it the bolt that is connected to the top part of the oil filter housing was broken which it made it difficult to disassemble. I had the bolt welded back to that part and it is off center about 1/4". So, I have re-installed the oil pump, oil lines (which were challenging) and the welded bolt to top of filter part. All new gaskets and seals. I had to really push and force the bottom bowl and nut/bolt to bottom of tractor and bolt welded to oil filter. Finally, do you JD pros think I'll have an issue with leaking and future issues with filter area? Thanks in advance.

I don't understand why you had it welded?
Why didn't you simply replace the stud?
Or, did you mean the threads were stripped in the cast iron "filter head"?
I also don't understand what you meant by "When I bought it the bolt that is connected to the top part of the oil filter housing was broken which it made it difficult to disassemble"?
With the stud "broken", wouldn't the cover and filter simply drop out onto the ground?

Should have said the filter head. The long stud was broken at the top head so the cover and nut would just spin when trying to take apart. I welded it so when putting back together, the bottom cover and bolt would be able to screw tight. Didn't know any other option. Thanks

I would think you would be better off with a different filter head and bolt if you welded the bolt to it. Ron MN
