I needed a couple fuel filters for my JD tractor.My dealer is a 60 mile round trip, so i went to napa.They had the filters in stock,but the o rings were wrong,to big for the grooves.
I thought i would get the o rings from John deere.A week later they also get the wrong o rings.They reordered them and there supposed to be hear tomorrow.I think they cost about as much as the napa filters.Guess i'll just buy the correct stuff from jD from now on.
 
Sounds like the luck I've had with CarQuest and Wix filters for my Oliver 77. The rubber gasket is too thick and they won't tighten down without popping out of the threads. I have to keep reusing an old gasket from an old filter.
 
When I bought a filter for my IH from the tractor parts guy in town it was made by hastings. I called up a car parts place in the spring and gave them the number and gave me the exact same filter for almost half price. If you ask them if the sell oil filters for tractors they will look at you like a idiot and say we only sell car parts.
 
Not the universal story for auto parts place. I work for one that also sells Hastings, farmers are our biggest filter customers other than the garages.
 
You must be doing something wrong are you sure the old gasket is all out of the grouve. Iv been using the Car Quest filters on Cub,A,B and C,SC. Never had a bad time yet but you need the old one out so the new one can fit.
 
With the base on that spin on,the gasket is one of those thick square edged ones. It doesn't go down in the base. Could be just that those filter bases on those tractors are famous for the threads stripping out. I just have to use a super thin one that came off the filter for a 66. Not sure what brand that filter was that I got that gasket from,but it works.
 
The napa filters are good if you have somebody willing to get off there a$$ and look em up they cost the same as the Deere filters though and I can look up the right filters on jdparts at two am. If I want and have them shipped right to my house and not have to deal with the idiots at parts counter
 
The parts guy probably looked them up wrong there is different serial number breaks for this tractor. Maybe you got a bad filter can happen.

napa and carquest filters are made by wix in fact they even share part numbers

NAPA= just drop the first number off the wix numer

CarQuest= you change the first two numbers, 51=85[oil] 33=86[fuel] the air numbers i can't rember

www.wixfilters.com is a good resource to have

those 33166 filters can be a pain in the behind, there is two o-rings in the box make shure you get the right one first.
 
The NAPA master filter catalog tells the part
number of the gasket/O-ring/seal that comes
with the element. In the back of the catalog
there is a section on alternate sizes , with demensions. I would have gone back to NAPA, and
insisted on the correct set.
