HAS ANYONE DONE AWAY WITH THE CARTRIDGE TYPE OIL FILTER AND WENT TO A MODERN TYPE SPIN ON FILTER ?

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WOULD WORK OR WHY IT WOULD NOT?

I dont see the point in migrating over to the spin on filter? As long as you have to wait a very long time for the engine oil to drain anyhow (and I hope that you do wait) leave the filter in place and drain the oil filter drain plug and then replace the filter fill up the oil and be done with it. Plus it maintains originality and functionality to the N - while saving you the trouble of a messy conversion attempt.

Does anyone know if Fram still makes one like this one - in orange? I would rather red/grey stripes but I will take orange. I think the C3 is silver/unpainted right? I know that the Napa 1010 is unpainted metal finish.

Loren, I used a J.C. Whitney spin-on adapter on my 51 8N. A piece of angle iron worked for a bracket to place the filter in the exact same spot as the original. Now I use a common Ford spin-on oil filter. It is much easier to find than the original cartridge. Also mounting it so the filter hangs down makes oil filter changes are a relatively clean affair. I painted the bracket and filter base red and occasionally I shoot the filter red so it doesn't look so obvious. The only thing I have questions about is, is the fluid resistance through a spin-on filter similar to the cartridge? I asked the question here once and got no responses. It seems to work well as it warms up so oil must be flowing through it and the oil seems clean. It's been on my tractor for 9 years, ever since a complete engine rebuild.

A couple of months ago there was a post on someone who purchased one in California for around 16.00. There should be a post in the Archives. Good luck. I have found that Auto Zone has the cartridge replacement for 4.50. About the same price as a Fram Spin on. It's about 50/50 whether to convert or not.

There are spin-on adaptor kits available at JC Whitney's. They're not N-Tractor specific, just generic and you have to kobble up a mounting bracket. Your dollar..... .Dell
