Dad calls me a few days ago and ask me if I could come over one day to look at his truck. He has a major oil leak on about a 18 month old long block rebuilt motor that I installed in his truck. So since it is the weekend and I got off work a little early today I drove the 50 miles to his house to look at it.
Get there and look under truck and it is covered in oil from front of motor to rear end. Start looking around for a leak and notice it is coming from the oil pump/filter area on front of motor. After much wiping and looking I can see the oil filter has a pin hole in it. Took the filter off and do not see any dings or dents in the filter but it has a hole right in the side of the metal case about half way down the filter. Its like the metal was so thin the oil pressure blew a hole in the side of the case. Never in my life have I seen anything like this.
For those of you that must know..... It was a fram tough guard oil filter put on by a shop my parents get work done at. Dad said they had the oil changed about a month ago so it lasted a little while but not very long. I went and bought some oil and a motorcraft filter and did a oil change for him while I was there.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
