 Topic: 38 B Oil Filter
Posted: 18 Aug 2010 at 8:59am |
|
Was having a discussion with a friend about "B" Oil filters - he said that tractor had to have come out with a canister, not a spin on - is that true?

Nope, not true. Must be thinking of the old Farmalls or something. The first old filters had a flat top.

Wasn't the first filters a glass mason jar with a separate yarn spiral wrapped filter element inserted inside?

Tell your friend pointblank what Dick L said. "Nope, Not True". AC Bs had the spin on oil filters from time one. A NOS one with a flat top would be correct for a spot on 38B restoration.

Maybe he is thinking of the early WC. I believe some of them came that way.

The original W engine oil filters were Ball Brothers pint glass jars. Using some type of filter material it allowed you to see when the oil darkened. I have heard that some people used these glass filters on B's and C's but I can't confirm that.

Moma would not appreciate the glass jars disappearing to the workshop - early recycling - put a screen in there and stuff it with fresh picked cotton - seems like some do that to the spin on's today.

Really she probably won't notice one here and one there. You only need one for each tractor cause you can remove dirty cotton, wash the jar and add new cotton for a new filter.
