[AT] Oliver S55 oil filter seal

[Joe Hazewinkel]

The tube should go into a hole in the middle of the filter housing.  On my 70, the original was gone so I used a piece of copper pipe that has been holding for several years now.  I don't know if the 55 is different or not.  It is odd that it pops off, the pressure can't be that high, maybe the threads are worn just enough that it doesn't get a good grip.

Enjoy, Joe
