My go to for these (was a tractor mechanic early in life) is to start with a big flat blade screwdriver and knock it completely through the side of the filter to the other side with a hammer, then use that to break the filter loose. I’ve near had one go sideways with that method, you get it through both outside sheet metal and the inner perforated metal that is usually stronger and welded to the threads
replyAbsolutely tried that. The tin gave up faster than Khalid at Zanzibar. It looked like Popeye used his pipe on it. It was a cheap 1384, so single wall and cardboard were the only resistance.
replySince posting, I got it running, PTO and deck line up great, fuel filter is clean and clear, it runs better than it has in years.
Oil filter tool that grabs the filter with teeth should work better than a chain clamp
replyI bet you're right. First time using a chain clamp, and it was brandnew. Broke on the third pull. Might have to watch a video - maybe I used it wrong? Seemed pretty straight forward and I wanted something that would span several filter types.
