Massey 1100 Front Hydraulic Filter

[old school]

I recently purchased this tractor knowing that it had been sitting for some time. So, started changing fluids and filters. Looking for help as I "attempted" to change this filter over the weekend... For the life of me, I can't get the canister off. Does it just drop down or does it screw on? My initial thought is it should drop off once the centerpost nut is loosed. Can't remove the centerpost as there isn't enough clearance under the housing.

Yes, it should pull off.

Any suggestions on getting it off? I've already taken a screwdriver to pry it the little that I have moved it.

It's probably just stuck from being on so long. Whack it in the side with a non-marring hammer of some sort, like a rubber mallet, plastic deadblow, or the like.

Oh I have...lol Scared I was going to knock it off by breaking

IIRC there is a Bolt on Top Center that releases it. It is Heavy Iron with a Screen inside... I think... It has been too long. It comes straight down with an oring seal.

There's NO top bolt, just the lower long bolt. I use a mallet or board to knock the can back and forth until it comes down from the housing.

Thanks for all the replies, I ended up taking mallet and "aggressively" wacked it until it finally gave up...lol The center bolt has a large washer at the bottom (between end nut and housing that is rotten but new filter doesn't come with?

It's some kind of malleable washer that crushes to make a seal. Not something that normally needs replaced so it won't come with the filter.

Hopefully the filter at least came with an o-ring for the top of the canister.

It's NOT a washer, but a HEAVY O ring that makes can removal tough sometimes.

Looks like a big 'ol Gresen filter unit.

Agco part number for top/head o-ring is 515115M1, for bottom rubber washer, 501544M1. I didn't find any on-line sources, do you happen to have an Agco dealer nearby you could check with?
