Case 830 Spin On Oil Filter Adapter

[Colin King]

My son (12 years old) and I installed the spin on oil filter adapter adapter onto our 1960 Case 830 Dual Range yesterday. Picked this up from Elmer's Repair. When we changed the oil last summer, the retainer bolt for the housing was missing several pieces of hardware, including the spring. As a result, nothing fit right and the filter housing leaked terribly. We were able to make some extra gaskets and shims and get it to stop leaking temporarily, but I was concerned about the long term effectiveness of this system.

Over the winter, I discovered the scarcity of replacement parts from Case, so I decided to go the route of the spin on adapter. The threads on the forum indicated that the spin on adapters did not always fit easily. I called Elmer's and they told me that their adapter was specifically designed to fit the 730/830 series without modification.

We have no leaks and good oil pressure after installation.

Happy spring, all!

Your going to miss out getting black oil all over yourself with that clean setup. Seems I remember, when you change oil in the future, someone said to punch a hole in the bottom of the cartridge to drain the oil out of it while the oil pan is draining.

Thanks for the tip!

"Someone said to punch a hole in the bottom of the cartridge to drain the oil out"

that's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard, this tip is probably from a guy that has dead tractors scattered all over his farm, left them where they died and a trampoline in his front yard. Sure, it would drain the remaining oil out of the filter, but why?

So, let's think about this. You're going to need to position a catch pan under the filter, then, you get a phillips screwdriver and a mallet, bend over under the filter and start banging away to punch a hole. You manage to finally punch a hole and oil starts running down the screwdriver shaft onto your hand before you can pull it out.

You've already got a super clean and efficient way to change your oil filter by having a spin-on adapter. I would love to find an oil filter adapter for my '69 Case 930 Gas.

Be careful whose advice you listen to..

You don't sound like a very experienced mechanic.
