while later engines took a spin on filter natively, however the earlier engines that had a canister had a spin on kit that takes oly minutes to install.. just an adapter plate, threaded nipple and gasket arangement...

He must'a been running a kit.

Steering wheel.

We just put some axle grease on the spline and threads. I saw the nipple on the box. What do I need to do other than lube? It feels pretty good.

Last one that bailed on me I had to take to Charlie to fix. $$$$$

I don't want to do that again if I can help it.

should be no nipple oem, as it was an oil sump box.. though many of us convert to a 0 or 00 ep grease.. which is wht I'd put in it... jd cornhead 0ep is fine.. or snapper / stens 00 ep grease..e tc..

cornhead is good stuff

When did they make the spin on filters standard? I was surprised that my 841 had the old style when i got it. I switched it so all my old fords take the same filter.

Where did you get the kit and is it universal to the 8n and the 641?

I might put it on the 8n also.

I think i got mine on ebay. They arent hard to find. It will definitely work on a 600. I am not sure on the N.

Here's the old steering wheel coming off. I'm sure some have had worse. I know I have.

All I did today was clean up all the kitty litter I put under the tractor for the oil change and took the used oil to Advance Auto to recycle.

While looking at the wiring I was interrupted by the local peacocks. I tried to explain to him that that hen was his sister and they were both hatched together in my planter but he ignored me.

the canister to spin on kit is for the OHV engines only, and is not applicable to the 8n.

the kit fits all the red tigers that had canisters. when the red tigers went parent bore and sleeveless.. the spin on was standard I believe.. so around 000 4 cyl production I'd think. RickB will know for sure. I'd have to look in a manual to say excatly.. etc.

there are some 8n oil filter spin on kits on ebay.. most of them are plumbed backwards as the people selling them apparrently don't know which way oil flows in an N

you can get the same thing/ head and fitler, from napa nad bend up lines yerself IF you want to do it.. personally.. I don't min dthe lil napa 1010 or fram c3 / c3p 8n canister filter.. it's no big deal to change...

Does anybody have a picture of where the choke is mounted on the dash? I'm going to have to put an aftermarket choke cable on the zenith carb since there was no choke assembly on the tractor. There is a broken switch mounted low on the left side. Could that have been the original hole?
