Oil Filter Gasket on Farmall A?

Posted by Al Fitch on April 02, 2006 at 07:31:05 from (167.206.248.11):

Yesterday I changed the oil on my A for the first time. There was a gasket with the new filter and a ring at the bottom of the base plate for the filter.

I closed it up tight with the filter and gasket and when I started it up there was oil leaking out of the filter.

Now when I took the old filter off there was no gasket but I assumed or guessed that the last person to change the oil was lucky or really strong.

Why do you suppose I had a leak with a gasket? I tightened the cover really tight before starting up the tractor.

Thanks,

Al Fitch

Oh, if I had to guess, I"d guess that the newer filters and their gaskets are not a perfect match for the 1944 A. The filter I put in was I believe a Fram filter.
