TXJim: The cover T31170 was never made for the JD 3020 and JD 3010 tractors. It was used mainly on the Mannheim designed tractors. Then they did offer it for use in the JD 30 and 40 series tractors WITH adapter spacer #7. That was to make the stack height the same.
Now to your original question. The bolt is used in different tractors because the total stack height is the same. They have different covers to fit the different transmission recess. If you put a T31170 on a JD 3020 the cover is the wrong depth to work right. It is too tall so the filter is not sealed. Plus the bolt number R65894 was not used on the JD 3020 or JD 3010. Only the JD 4020 under 205000-. Then in a bunch of other later model tractors. This bolt is used with different covers.
Truthfully I never wasted enough time to figure all the different covers/bolt/filters out. I just usually drilled and tapped a hole in the cover and called it good enough. Most customers we had would have had a cow if we put close to $500 in just getting a return ported cover on a tractor.
About the only time I used a factory ported cover was if the tractor already had one.
Also I never welded a fitting to the cover. Just drill and tape 3/4 x 16 hole and screw the fitting in.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
