After 8 years of slightly dripping occassionally leaking oil I wonder, is there a better oil pan and filter assembly for a TO-20? I notice that the pan is slightly bent but surely there is a better way. I await the day that the first indication is a broken rod. Did someone ever address this or am I stuck with it for life. I use this machine year round and this is the one thing that needs to be addressed with an otherwise wonderful machine.

Same engine as my TE-20.Believe it or not,my mechanic friends say that an oil filter in the sump is the best spot!Hint;mark your plate and oil pan with a marker before filter change so that you put it back exactly the same.A little bit of silicone used with the rubber seal has been a big help for me on the potentially leaky spots.Good luck!

I don't know if anyone has come up with a better solution other than a good straight pan and seal on the filter hole. When I got mine, the previous owner had welded the filter plate to the pan, so it doesnt leak! I have to drop the pan to change the filter though. One of these days I'll get a new oilpan....maybee.

I finally broke down and took my pan off. It was finally a tad too bent to seal anymore. I suspect that I managed to hi center on a stump a while back. Is the steel cover plate supposed to have a tad of a curve to it? Mine isn't exaxtly straight across the sealing edge but it looks cast that way. At any rate I straigtened the pan's irregularities and gasket cemented the gasket to the pan and sealed the edges with red formagasket. I take it that the drain plug goes to the front of the tractor, that seems like the only way the pan ever sealed for me. The book is pretty sketchy on that, even the illustration. Another interesting thing I uncovered was a string proturding from a hole near the rear of the oil pan,its dry. It is located near the rear crank retainer bolt but it can't be the seal as far as I can figure. Any ideas what it is? It looks like some sort of white dry packing pluging the journal or bolt hole.
