Oil change.
Posted: Thu May 12, 2022 6:57 pm
Just thought I'd renew the engine oil today.
But I have a small issue which means I'll have to partly redo the job tomorrow.
I finished the job and started the tractor and found pretty quickly there was significant oil leaking from the filter
Obviously I didn't get the new rubber sealing ring in quite the right place. (It didn't seem to want to go into the groove in the housing).
But upon further reflection I didn't see an existing rubber sealing ring when I removed the filter.
So, should there be a sealing ring there at all ( I assume there should). Or is the old one stuck in the housing which maybe I didn't notice?
It is pretty dark in the barn.
