[AJD] Oil Filter threaded shaft - stripped threads???

[wwwayne johnson]

Well Dean, what he has is a broken casting on the filter head.  The cover 
has to come off the crankcase, then jam something into the broken section to 
keep it from turning and remove the filter head nut.  kThen disconnect all 
the oil lines from the filter head, remove the three bolts up in the filter 
housing and remove the filter head for replacement or (doubtful) repair. 
This is caused by overtightening the nut on the filter housing.  One very 
tough repair.  I always carry a cressent wrench with me when I'm looking at 
tractors to check that nut to see if its tight and will remove.
