[AT] Tractor oil filters

[Spencer Yost]

My tractor has a spin on filter and it's a late 50s ford 861.   Does anyone know who was the first tractor manufacturer to use them?  Every antique tractor I have owned had the bypass canister type.

By the way; I say "late 50s" because my serial number is under the battery tray and over the years battery leakage has obscured it.  You can't read it but I believe there are enough "features" that a really clever way of bringing the numbers into relief would make it readable.   Anyone know of any such clever methods?

Bit of a pain to feel around and try to punch the drain valve, but still better than dripping oil on everything.
