Oil & Fuel Adding a Spin on Racor filter to a BX25

I like the way you used your head and was able to use existing mounting bolts, Good Idea.:thumbsup:
Now you have to Wax that tractor

Thanks Scooby, your research motivated me to stop procrastinating & install a filter-separator worthy of these tractors. My welder is on the fritz, so I came up with a different bracket, but same location. I also thought it would be helpful to add a shut-off to simplify filter changes. Already saved me when I got a leaky bowl.

Oh and Thank you Scooby for the advice on my stack,
A few weeks ago I followed your advice. You told me to trim it so it won't catch water. I think it looks better this way also.
Thanks:thumbsup:

Thanks! Using the existing hardware made more sense than drilling and tapping in that location, particularly if the mount was still on the tractor.

Wax... Whats that?

You know, its only a small detail, but I think its a bit better looking too. Looks even more factory.:thumbsup:

What was it again that you used for paint? It looks like a satin finish? Looks good though.

One last thing...

I really have to post up the the results of the last filter drain.

I dumped it into a mason jar, probably 1" total. About 1/3" maybe a bit more is water!!! Something for anyone considering this mod to think about.

I know, it's a no brainer using the existing bolts.

Maybe I missed it, but did you reuse the OEM bolts, or find longer versions due to the added mounting plate? Looking into doing a similar conversion. I like your mounting plate since I can make something similar, but don't have the equipment to make one like 4Shorts did.

Yup. OEM loader bolts.

No need for longer bolts because there is lots of stickout there to work with. Even after installing the bracket the bolts still stuck past their nuts. Just apply some red loctite to the bolts when reinstalling them.

Great, thanks. Makes it easier.
