Just wondering---there was a post about 3 weeks ago about someone having problems with getting the gasket for the oil filter to fit and stop leaking.This weekend I changed oil on one of my 8N's and began mowing on 15 acres. I noticed a drop in oil pressure after about an hour which was unusual for this tractor (runs at 40 lbs. hot). You can imagine my surprise to see the oil flowing out of the oil filter. Something I have noticed----the gasket that comes with filters that I have purchased from 3 different vendors of 8N parts have all leaked or needed "stretching". They seem to be a bit undersized. The NAPA 1010 and the FRAM C3 I do not have any problems with. Has anyone else had any issues with any of these filters? That quick drop in oil pressure sure scared the heck out of me. When I looked at the gasket, there was an area about the length of a nickel, that was not making any contact at all with the filter canister---- Is there a quality control issue with some of the filters, or just a bit of "unlucky" draw.
