The list has been wonky for a few days.. at least on my end..  I'm glad I

Good to know.  i figure dthere had to be a way to prime the pump on the cub. 
I'm way more familiar with the fords, so just wasn't sure.  And yes.. your 
method of looking in  the oil filter housing would produce 'pumping' results 
much faster than just pulling the gauge, due to the cavity that would need 
to be filled.

thansk fro the reply.. I'm sure the original poster will be glad to read 
your info.
