You already have 3 good answers, but to add a little more:
Cub oil filters were redesigned over the years. So you could pull out an old one that looks different then the new ones. However, they are all the same overall size and interchange.
There were 2 designs of the top that goes over the filter. The early one was a die cast part, slightly dished up. It was easily deformed (until it dished down). After it was bent, it was very difficult to keep from leaking. The second design was heavy stamped steel. It had more of a cone shape to the center. It was much more resistant to bending when overtightened. Both designs interchange, using the same center bolt and filter.
By the way, there were 2 center bolts as well. It changed when the engine block went from "R7" to "R8". They do not interchange into the wrong block.
You need a gasket on the center bolt. Some people have used the washer/o-ring type seal you find on some oil pan drain plugs. A generic one of the proper size can be found at most auto parts stores. I haven't resorted to that myself.
