I know this has been discussed a few times on this site, but I am still confused, even after looking at the shop manual and would appreciate someone easing my mind. I have not removed the oil pan on my to-20 to fully inspect, but looking up through the hole in the bottom of the pan, I see the filter cover with two holes in the bottom: one in the center for the connecting bolt, and one on the side at the bottom. Since I cannot get the filter cover out through the opening, I am not sure what it looks like on the other side of the cover. Reading earlier posts, it looks like I am supposed to have a spring and a washer between the filter cover, and the plate that covers the opening in the pan. When I look at the shop manual picture, it looks like when I look through the bottom of the oil pan, I should be seeing the filter. Is my filter cover on upside down? The picture in the shop manual shows a spring between the bottom of the oil supplying point on the engine and the top of the oil filter cover. This leaves the filter down next to the cover for the pan. Can someone enlighten me on exactly what I should be seeing when I remove the cover at the bottom of the pan?

When you take the cover off of the oilpan there is a basket type pan that has to be removed, after that you can look up into the oil pan itself and remove the filter from the stem, sometimes the basket needs a little working but it will come out of through the oil pan opening

The basket will hold the oil filter , lining up the oil return line with the basket hole is the trick on reassembly. when you feel the basket push up the hole is lined up, start your pan bolt and you should have already tightened the drain bolt. Good luck my job took 1/2 an hour and worked out good.

Now I am more confused. When I put the pan opening cover on, I pushed the filter assembly up as far as it would go, and it seemed to be pushed up by the oil drain bolt. I did not line up any oil return line or make any effort to line up the other hole in the bottom of the filter basket. Did I get lucky and line up the hole without knowing it, or did I make a mistake and need to try to redo the whole process. SInce I have trouble stopping leaks in the opening cover, I want to know what my best course of action should be from here.

PJ, The small hole in the basket screen filter has a hole in it for the oil suction tube to suck oil from the bottom of the pan . If you do not have this 3/8 size oil suction tube then I'm more confused than you are. This job is sort of like the harmonic convergence of the universe when the sun the stars and the moon all line up, if you get my drift.

there is not a visible tube, so is the oil sucked up through the hole in the bottom of the basket and in the inflow tube, even though it is not visible though the opening? Is it possible that thetube is there, but not long enough to get through the basket that hold the filter? Should I tAKE IT BACK APART AND START OVER? help!!!!!

PJ, Do Not Panic! The oil suction tube must be determined. as i stated earlier this tube fits in the hole in the basket and when pushed up it will fit like a glove so to speak. Now go to Tractor Supply and order a service manual to study and all the info you need will be in your new tractor library.

Well I have a TO-20 and since I have had it I have changed the oil in it twice and either I never paid a whole lot of attention or I am confused also, but the only tube that i know of inside that compartment is the stem which the filter slides onto, anyway no matter how I did it it runs fine and holds oil pressure. Hope it helps
