HDL FILTER

[ericbx]

was under my tractor last night and noticed that my hdl filter has a dent in it(not leaking thank god). this is still the factory filter on it. is it possible that the mower deck could hit it or is there enough clearance. or do you think this could be caused when the factory crated this tractor up on the metal skid. i know for a fact that i did not hit anything as i have only used my tractor on the lawn. plus the way the mark is(which is front to rear) not side to side i dont think the deck could have done this. i have the deck off so i cant tell how much clearance there is. also i cant see any impact mark just a dent? looks like the filter was blue before thay painted the rear end down the assembly line /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
