Just switch to this setup and be done with it. Also, start adding anti gel to your fuel when it starts to get cold out, the filter won't solve the gelling problem but will be easier to service for sure.

Heck yeahhhhh.... i bought Mike`s filter kit for our BX23s. Its a 100% awesome kit. Nothing needed, everything is in the box when Mike ships the kit to you. Excellent instructions as well, with photos.
And its soooooo nice to be able to change out the fuel filter without crawling underneath the tractor anymore. Only took one time dealing with that OEM filter and i said ohhh heck no, and bought Mike`s filter kit. ZERO issues since!!!
