How To Install a Farmall Oil Filter

A Farmall oil filter is one that is made for Farmall tractors. Every time you change the oil on the tractor, you need to change the filter as well. Changing the oil filter keeps the gears lubricated with clean oil to prevent grinding and ensures that heavy metals don't build up in the engine. Fortunately, installing a Farmall oil filter doesn't add much time to an oil change for this tractor. Requiring minimal tools, this job generally takes about 35 minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Sealant
• Oil

Instructions

1. Seal the rubber O-ring gasket to the top of the oil filter. The gasket is included with the oil filter. Line the top of the gasket with a metal sealant and press the gasket onto the filter. Wait 30 minutes for the sealant to cure before proceeding.

2. Lubricate the gasket with the clean motor oil used on the tractor. Line the top of the rubber ring with a thin layer or oil.

3. Place the oil filter on the port in the center of the engine, near the radiator. Twist the filter half a turn clockwise to fasten it in place.
