[AJD] AR Oil filter stud

[Tommy Wilson]

I'm putting the AR back together. Today I belted it to my Farmall H 
and turned the engine, transmission and rear end over with diesel 
fuel in the cavities. After draining, we went to put in the oil 
filter. The stud turns and will not tighten. I tried to pry down on 
the filter cover while tightening but without success. Any ideas? 
According to the parts book it looks like the stud goes into the oil 
filter top. Could the threads be stripped? What is the fix? Thanks    TW
