<div dir="ltr"><div>I see a minor "farmer design change" in that VAC's near future... :-)</div><div>I did an oil and filter change on it yesterday and about did a Fred Sanford over the price of the filter at NAPA ($25 and change plus tax). I can buy a filter for my old F-150 for about $4... The VAC uses the same filter as my Allis C (Fram # C-159 but I don't usually buy Fram filters) and I was out of them. The ones I was using I bought years ago. I came home and started looking on-line but didn't find anything a lot cheaper. I first looked at the local Rural King farm store but they didn't even have a spot on the shelf for them. Seems odd considering how many Allis tractors used them.<br></div><div>I did an oil and filter change on my Ferguson TO-20 last week and that filter was about $8. I did have to make a gasket for that cover plate you take off to change the internal filter.

you read closely, the picture is of a used spring, but you are purchasing a new
spring. $55 is still awful steep though. I mainly included the link so that you
would know the name is apparently simply “foot spring”. Not very creative if you
ask me :-)<br><br>

<div>It's even worse than that... I looked at it very closely and I am sure it

<div>We have bought a handful of things from them over the years and while
they were high we never had any problems with anything. I have to wonder if
this is a glitch and maybe the $55 is for the lever assembly, not just the
spring?</div>

<div>Well, I did have one problem... We bought a set of nice rims off of a
Ford 8000 but ended up not using them. The problem was local... I put them out
for sale and someone (I assume a scrapper) just loaded them up one day. Hardly
Robert's fault. :-)</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">It is an odd spring that goes at the intersection of
