    Just a thought-How to adapt a oil filter?

    Nope, their is a dipstick on this engine to check the level, and that is the same place you add oil too. To drain, your right, a plug on the bottom. I know its not necessary, but it would be cool to have...and ofcoarse the mower would prolly last a real long time.

    Will be installin Tranny by-pass. Have questions

    Maybe this might clear things up a bit. This is what i was thinking about. The reason is because I would rather have a fullflow collect the big stuff, and let the bypass do the little stuff, so it lasts longer. Maybe it is a stupid idea, i do not know. Roman
