Guess what I learned today? Took less than a full minute! If you take the lid off this oil filter housing after it sat for many years,then put it back on its going to pour oil out when you fire up the tractor! Fast! I guess the rubber seal is shot. Here are pictures of the filter. Darn thing is heavy. It screws in to the bottom of the housing.

GET RID OF THAT THING! You will get that junk leaking out pumped into your oil passages and starve bearings from oil. GET IT OFF THAT ENGINE.
 
I think doc means the accumulated sludge that is inside the filer. the bottom of that filter looks like the bottom on a paper IH oil filter, so it may be a cousin.
 
Find an original filter housing and install that. Then you can get the filter and the proper square
o ring" to seal it up.
If it was mine I would frop the pan and clean that up while you are at it. Is that petcock for checing oil lever frozen? It looks bas. Do you know how to check the oil level?
 
Repops are available.
Must be some member on here that has an early, non running, model H parts tractor, with the original oil filter assembly on it .
 

Grandpa, are you planning to work this tractor hard, or is it basically going to be a toy/parade unit?
You seem determined to leave that assembly on there. What would happen if you obtained/fabricated/whatever, the necessary gasket(s) and put it back together without a cartridge in it? Keep an eye on the oil level and change it more often if necessary. Many of the old Chevy sixes used to run without oil filters. If it's only going to see minimal use, wouldn't that work?
Just a thought. Folks, tell me if I'm wrong here.
 
it is heavy because it is plugged with solids. those filters are not heavy new. that filter is junk. better pull the oil pan and clean all the sludge out of it. then do the original replacement I recommended.
