Have been at this site several times re; oil filter cover (head). Got the head replaced and when I put it back in the long stud was off center because the top of the filter body was bent. Not much and I really thought I could get away with such a minor defect--NOT SO!! Have ordered a new filter body. My problem now is removal of the damaged one. Have tried every thing I can think of to no avail. I beieve it comes out the top. I put a round piece of wood in it and used a hydraulic jack. Raised the whole front end of the tractor and it is still in the same place it was 56 years ago. Now what? Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks and God bless Joe M

Joe, those filter cans usually come out by the method you used. If it is still stuck & the jack raises the whole tractor you can try some heat around the inside rim of the filter can then try the jacking method, or use a longer piece of pipe instead of the wood then strike the side of the pipe when the tractor is jacked up [be careful the tractor doesn't jump [when it comes loose] & hit you].
~You can also try adding weight to the tractor front to help balance the tractor & that will add push to the filter can when you jack it up.

I haven't had this problem, but I have had many other stuck parts. Impact often helps along with the best penetrating oil you've got and some heat. I'd try hitting the block with a sledge hammer first. A hardwood block will transfer a lot more impact than a softwood block [like spruce or pine]. Then I'd try heating the filter body from below [inside the metal cannister] to 'move' the rust and corrosion BUT I'd be very cautious about fire in case there is fuel vapour in the crankcase or around the engine. If that doesn't work, I'd cut it and roll the filter body away from the cast iron.

Let us know how it goes!

Jon and Clooney Finally got the filter body out. Wound up with a small cut off grinder, a good chisel and a lot of heat. Cut an angled notch in the lower edge and a shallow groove about an inch up into the body. (I stayed clear of the cast iron) Then started curling the body wall upwards and bingo ---after about an inch of this and some encouragement from a 2 3/8 oil field pipe and heat from a welding torch it came loose. I believe my big difficulty was my reluctance to use enough heat and my unwillingnes to destroy the original filter body. Next time it will be a whole lot easier. Want to say a special thanks to both Jon and to Clooney and really to the many good folks that contribute to this site. God Bless You All Joe M
