A little over a year ago I purchased a 2012 2320 from a neighbor. The neighbor had just changed oil and filter so I didn't change oil until yesterday. The problem that I ran into was that I couldn't get the new oil filter to stop leaking. The manual says to tighten 1/2 turn after seal makes contact. Instructions on filter says to tighten 2/3 turn after seal makes contact. Nothing I did would stop the leak, about a drip a second.
Went to JD dealer and got a different filter same part # as one I took off and same as the new one I had originally installed. Tried second new filter, same thing. Cuss words are becoming quite common by now. I call tech support. I explain everything to him and mention that I can see many machine marks running across the surface on the block and am wondering if this is the problem. He asked me several questions then said I don't have an answer for your problem but will check and call you back if I come up with something. He returned call in about 20 minutes and said he found one other similar problem and the solution was to hand tighten filter till it made contact then tighten it between 30 and 60 degrees further. This is like about 1/8 of a turn.
It seems like it solved the problem. I am going to check another filter brand and see if it is similar to JD filter which I can remove the seal simply by lifting it off with no effort. I am very nervous about running this tractor with such a loose filter.
If any of you have any comments or have had the same problem please tell me what you did.

Today's Featured Article - Using Your Tractor: Creating a Seed Bed - by Chris Pratt. When I bought my first old tractor, I had only one idea in mind. It wasn't the preservation of old iron since at that time, I was unaware that people even did this. It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
