[Farmall] "H" oil filter questions - photos below

[Al Jones]

If there's no gasket I will bet a box of Krispy Kreme's that it'll leak 
eventually.  Oil pressure is plenty high enough to push oil out.

Tim, don't be afraid to "dig in." Depending on how long the old one has been 
in there it may take a while to get it out.

When you install the new gasket, oil it with new engine oil.  That'll help 
it seal better.

Al
