    Filter List?

    Is there a list of filter specs that give thread sizes and O-ring diameter as well as size, etc.? Am looking for an oil filter that has M24x2 threads for a tractor. I tried searching but came up empty. Thanks, Joe

    Bypass for a tractor?

    Howdy, I am a nooby to this forum. I have never used a bypass filter but have heard about them from several older folks. My father-in-law has an old Frantz (unused) sitting on his workbench, so I am aware of what they look like and how they work. I own a compact diesel tractor that I purchased...
