HAS ANYONE EVER PUT A SPIN-ON FILTER LUBER FINER ON AN 8550 TRACTOR? IF YOU HAD, DO YOU HAVE ANY PICS OF IT MOUNTED ON THE TRACTOR. ALSO IF NOT HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES GETTING THE ORIGINAL LUBER FINER CANISTER TO SEAL UP AFTER CHANGING THE FILTER. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

did you replace the gasket and tighten the shoulder bolt fully on the original Luber Finer?

Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine.

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.

Most of the time the drain orifice in the bottom of the canister is plugged building pressure inside of the can. When this happens zero oil is getting filtered, so why even have the thing on there ?? Get the new style and mount it wherever it's easy to service. Make hoses to connect.
