I HAVE A 2430 4 X 4 FARM PRO, I'M SURE THIS PROBLEM INVOLVES OTHERS ALSO. ( it can't be just me )
OK, ANYONE HAVING A PROBLEM TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT OIL FILTER FOR THERE TRACTOR, THIS INFO MIGHT HELP YOU. I FINALLY GOT MY PROBLEM ALL FIXED.. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
OK AFTER MANY WEEKS OF RESEARCH, TRIAL & ERRA AND
EXTRA GRAY HAIR'S, THIS IS WHAT I FOUND. THE PIPE THREAD AT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED, IT WAS TO SHORT FOR ANY OTHER FILTER TO SCREW INTO, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL FILTER IS BEVELED. I REMOVED THE FILTER HOUSING OFF THE MACHINE AND TOOK THE PIPE THREAD OFF, ( it needed a little heat ) I BROUGHT IT TO NAPA AND IT TURNS OUT THE THREAD IS 3/4 X 16 AND A NAPA 1515 A BASIC FORD OIL FILTER FIT PERFECT. yaa-whooo /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif (THE 20 X 1.5 WAS LOSE & SLOPPY)
I CLEANED THE PIPE THREAD AND PUT A FEW DROPS OF BLUE LOCK-TIGHT ON IT AND SCREWED IT BACK IN THE HOUSING SO APPROXIMATELY 1" WAS EXPOSED, LET IT SIT FOR 24 HRS AND REASSEMBLED IT BACK ON THE TRACTOR.
I PRIMED THE FILTER WITH 15 - 40 (a secret a member told me) SCREWED IT IN PLACE, FILLED THE OIL PAN AND NOW I'M BACK IN BUSINESS AGAIN.
SO FROM HERE ON, IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE TO CHANGE THE OIL & FILTER ON MY TRACTOR. NO MORE GOING CRAZY.. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I HOPE THIS INFO HELPS YOU, IT'LL SAVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE, AND HEADACHES. CHUCK..
