Small leak from Hydraulic filter

[MoKelly]

I performed the 50 hour hydraulic fluid change on Monday on my CT235.

I went slow and steady and everything went well ... got the filters off and didn't make too big of a mess. Nicked my head on the right step once but only drew a little blood.

I put the filters on (made sure the rubber ring came off the old filters and was oiled on the new filters) and hand tightened (per the owners manual).

The only problem I seem to have now is a small leak from the hydraulic filter that is under the tractor (largest of the filters). The leak is small (about 10 drops after sitting overnight) but shouldn't be there at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I tighten it more (another 1/2 turn with the wrench)?

Thanks for any help.

Yes I would.

I had the same thing. I turned it another 1/4-1/2 turn and it stopped.
