Filter is easy. Go to your local parts or C-IH store & ask for a filter for SM-TA. They should have one in stock. Make sure you get a gasket with it. Remove the drain plug @ bottom of filter housing, have an empty soup can ready to catch the old oil. Crack the large bolt on the top of the filter to allow air to enter. Let it drain until all drips stop. Remove the bolt, wiggle the canister loose from the bottom, remove it taking the filter out at the same time. Check to make sure you know what direction the filter goes back in. Throw away the old filter, clean everything up & remove the old gasket from the groove where the canister sets into the housing. It'll probably come out with great difficulty, if its been in there a while. BE SURE YOU GET IT ALL. A seal pick works great to get them out. Wet the new gasket with clean oil & install it in the grove, put in the new filter, install the canister & long bolt & tighten appropriately. You are now good to go, as soon as you put oil in the crankcase. Check for leaks after you run her for a few minutes. They'll leak a little once in a while, usually all it takes is to tighten the bolt a little more IF YOU GOT ALL THE OLD GASKET. Be sure to change oil in the can on the bottom of the air cleaner, they are usually about 1/2 full of dirt, make sure you scrape it all out. Takes the same thing you use in the engine if its multi-grade or 10W if you use straight weight. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
