Like Mike M. said...take off the inspection plate on the top of the engine where the oil is poured in. Drain the oil, and then if an "A" is anything like a "B", unbolt the "top" of the oil filter from under the tractor, (assuming the bottom of the filter can is off). There should be three 1/2" (I think) cap screws that you can get to with a long extension and a drop light, and these three bolts hold the top of the oil filter on the top of the cansiter inside the engine.

Assuming you get it off, you can take out rest of the filter bolt, and clean the oil filter assembly.

Its likely that the top of the canister is crushed a little from over tightning the bolt. There is a gasket between the top of the canister and the top. Straighten the canister with a wood dowel from under the tractor, while someone holds a heavy bar (a draw bar works well) on top of the canister.

Clean, add gaskets and re-assemble, then check your oil pressure adjusting screw.
