Here's the update.

Replaced housing (123.00), filter (30.00) and oil (150.00). Figured it was time to make a guard for the filter. I was a little stumped on this one because of the amount of doohickeys and widgets hanging around the area, then it came to me in an epiphany somewhere west of Calais!

Guard, front view

Guard, rear view

There's a couple other pictures there too. Nice side effect is the park brake cable is protected also. That broke first day I had the tractor. Dunno if it was a mfg. defect or if I snagged something.

Some of the metal is a bit heavy, but it was all scraps I had hanging around from other projects. Had to buy the paint and bolts, which was a highway robbery price of 20 bucks at Aubachon.

Next project is the FEL lines. Got some ideas.

Looks good. It ought to help protect the filter for sure and not let anything use the filter can as a pry bar on the housing.
