CK30 LOOSE OIL FILTER

[DIRTCUTTER]

After Starting my tractor this morning and noticed alot of oil on the ground. It was coming from the oil filter which had worked it self loose. Is this common or is there something going on more serious than filter working it self loose. last oil change 100 hrs current hours 117 hrs

Shouldn't come loose unless it didn't get put on tight enough. Had this problem on our 05 Dodge Diesel 1-ton truck. Didn't get it on tight enough and it worked loose from vibration. Just tighten it on up and you should be good to go.

I had the same problem with my DK35. After the last oil change I found the filter loose on 2 occasions and had to tighten it back down. I just did another service three weeks ago and found it was only finger tight when I went to take it off. I've checked the new filter every day since the recent oil change and it has been tight, I wonder it I got a defective filter?
