Julia,
The issue with the Long filter is that it is installed in an upright position, allowing the oil in the filter to leak down when the engine is cut off. The Long filter has rubber flaps in the bottom of the filter that supposedly only open when the engine is running and the oil system is under pressure. In fact, when changing the oil it is best to fill the new filter with fresh oil, sacrificing the oil that spills until you can get the filter(hand tight, BTW). When you take the old filter off, you will see a standpipe that goes into the filter. Oil is pumped by the oil pump through the holes in the bottom filter which have the rubber flap over them, through the filter, and out the standpipe. The filter is a common size, AC pf2 as I recall, and it may well be that other filters have the rubber flap arrangement. If you can't get a long filter, a good auto parts store brand will be ok. Check for a Long dealer on the website.
Another bit of advice: The fuel filters should be changed once a year. The O rings at the top and bottom of the filter cartridge are not the same, so observe carefully. When changing the fuel filters, change only one at a time, filling the new filter with fuel by hand before installing. Don't completely tighten the filter, first pump the hand lever on the side of the fuel pump until fuel comes out around the filter. Then tighten the filter. The reason for this is to keep from running the fuel lines dry and having to pump fuel until you get more fuel in the lines, maybe loosening a line at an injector which is a pain. After tractor is cranked successfully, let it run a few minutes to be sure the lines are all full before changing the other filter. The primary filter gets most of the water and trash out and it not usually necessary to change the secondary filter as often. If power steering gives trouble, first change the power steering filter inside the P. S. oil reservoir at the top left front of the motor.
