Does someone have or at least have the dimensions of the plate that the oil filter sits on in the oil filter housing on a John Deere M? I took my filter housing off to replace the filter only to find the plate gone. In the book it looks just like a fairly large washer that the filter sits on but wanted to make sure of the diameter of the plate. John Deere can't get the part. Thanks for your help!

I've had A 40u since 1965 -never had this plate, must have been lost before I bought it. I didn't even know it was supposed to be there until a couple of years ago, works fine without, but I guess I'll get one anyway just to be sure. Maybe 38 years isn't a long enough test!

C Butler, most will work fine without that M-88T filter plate. It's sole function is to keep the oil filter element bottom from deforming & allowing the oil filter to drop down & loose its seal. Oil filters with a solid or hard bottoms probably will function fine without it. Even the ones that settle down & don't seal correctly will still filter some of the oil. The problem that occurs is the oil filter is already a by-pass filter that only filters part of the oil passing through the oiling system & when the filter isn't sealed correctly even more oil by-passes the filter element & very little actually gets filtered.....

I make mine from the cover that goes on a 3" round electrical junction box. Just drill a hole the right size in the middle and you are all set. BTW, my 40C ran for years without one (came to me that way) and after I learned there was supposed to be one and put one on, I noticed no difference.

ROBERT... MINE WAS ALSO MISSING. I BOUGHT A FRAM FROM TSC...DIDN'T INSTALL. PICKED UP A FILTER FROM JOHN DEERE, THIS FILTER HAS A METAL TOP AND BOTTOM. I MEASURED THE AREA WHERE THE FILTER SITS AND THE HOLE IN BOTTOM OF FILTER. THEY ARE VERY VERY CLOSE..... THE FRAM FILTER HOLE,WITH CARDBOARD TOP AND BOTTOM IS LARGER THAN THE J.D...I STARTED TRACTOR AND HAD 30-35 LBS. OF OIL PRESSURE WITH PLENTY OF OIL AT THE ROCKERS...
THE J.D. FILTER WAS ONLY $1-1.50 MORE....
HOPE THIS HELPS...

John Shepard's business ad, with address and phone number, is on page 16 of the January issue of Green Magazine. He does not have a website.

JUST THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE WAS THAT BECAUSE THESE WERE OFTEN LOST, I THINK J.D. CAME OUT WITH THE METAL TOP AND BOTTOM ON THEIR OIL FILTERS..THE HOLE AND THE AREA WHERE IT FITS ONTO ARE EXACT FIT, SO TO ME IT APPEARS AS THO THEIR FILTERS ACT AS THE WASHER BECAUSE OF FIT.....
