HydroTek Posted October 21 Posted October 21 Top seal under the nut is a composite washer -- oring is for the head of the retaining bolt where the glass bowl sits The drain "valve" uses a flat rubber washer -- but I have used whatever fits there in a pinch The acorn nut seals the bolt threads you sure that nut didnt get knocked off and is wedged between the engine and filter housing ? -- common acorn nut -- I dont remember if standard threads or metric - but hardware store should have one -- take the filter retaining bolt aloong so you get the correct thread Quote

Thought of that. looked and stuck my hand through, too much space for it to fall. -- common acorn nut -- I dont remember if standard threads or metric - but hardware store should have one - Yup, metric, made in Doncaster, England -- take the filter retaining bolt aloong so you get the correct thread Wish this had come through before I went to town to get an acorn nut. They had one that fit, metric, but the bolt was quite short and I knew it wouldn't get all the way down so I got a flange nut and used the rubber washer I had cut which hole was a little sloppy and rolled down an o-ring which filled the gap nice and tight. I'll have to see if I can fix my metal punch to cut the right size holes in the composite washers I have hundreds of. Maybe I'll find the nut when I pull the tractor out tomorrow. SUCCESS! BOWLS FILLED UP NICELY, A FEW CRANKS AND HE STARTED RIGHT UP. THANKS FOR STICKING WITH ME ON THIS. I WAS BEING REALLY BUMMED ABOUT HOW MANY DAYS I WASTED ON THIS BUT BOY, DID I FEEL GOOD WHEN HE STARTED AND RAN! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! (especially you Hydro) 😀 Even more good news. My IH guy found me a stabilizer bracket with an adjustable arm on it so the delay saved me a two hour drive in the tractor to take it down to him to drill out the fixed Ford bar he got me. Woo-hoo, I'm gonna be able to mow on the hills! PS. please check out my post on the general chat with my question about steel wheels Quote
stronger800 Posted October 22 Posted October 22 Very glad to hear you got it going. I think that’s a wiring Grommet that you cut apart to make sealing washers though, and those are pretty soft and might get softer with fuel exposure. A new filter kit from the auto parts store should have everything in it, and that would be cheaper than ordering just the orings and sealing washers from a dealer. The part numbers in my pictures here, are the same filters, just in blue. I have some agco-allis orange ones here someplace Quote

I'll take your advice though and replace the rubber washers with composite on the top when I can get/make the right size. Quote
