I don't know that tractors' filter configuration but
I've seen horizontialy mounted filters on
car/truck motors airlock after an oil/filter
change and the gauge reading can flutter or
exhibit other erratic behavior. The cure is to
remove the filter, fill it with oil and put it back
on. Chrysler, for one, issued service bulletins
on this problem years ago on the 383 and the
need to prefill the filter. The V-6 Buick used in
the CJs was prone to airlocking, also. I have
prefilled every oil filter I've changed since the
'60s, no matter the mounting orientation just
for 'insurance'. Probably not your problem
but.......???? :-)
