Richard: Do you have the gas engine? If so, it's a Continental Z134 model, and I just went through the same things as you on my MF35(same as TO35). There should be a disc with a fine mesh screen on the fuel tank outlet, above the glass bowl. I got a new one at an MF dealer, but the ouside diameter was just a bit too large. I don't know why, maybe it's a universal part. I had to file the diameter to make it fit. It sits on top of the glass bowl, with a gasket above it. It took me a lot of fiddling and fartin' around to get it to not leak. So don't be surprised if you have the same trouble. But you'll get it eventually. When you do it, it would be a good idea to pull the plug on the carb. bowl and flush clean gas through, just to get rid of any crud in the carb. As for the oil filter, undo the nut on top of the housing and the whole assembly will pull off the engine. You'll see the bolt goes through the filter, pull it off, then there should be a spring on the bolt above the filter. If it's not there, go to the dealer and get one, it's a must have thing to hold the filter down against the engine block so the oil goes through the filter, it won't without it. The filter is a Fram C3 or equivalent. If you want to make things a little easier, there is a kit you can get from the dealer to convert to a spin on type of filter, like modern cars and trucks have. I put one on and it is sweet. If you want part numbers, write to me and I'll send them.
