It's super easy to change the oil, but they are not 1945. Maybe 1954? The filter you want is Fram C159

Thanks for the replies.So,to change the oil,just drain from pan and replace the filter?Noticed the filter is standing upright,anything special to do there.Also,what type of oil.She said just a SAE30.Thanks.

Thats pretty much it. There is an oil tube running up inside the filter.

The only thing "special" to do is make SURE the tube attached to the filter housing stays in the housing and doesn't come out with the filter. That little tube is vital to the lube system on these tractors. The new filter will slide down over the tube before screwing it on.

Oilman, You may know this, but I always warm up an engine before I drain the old oil. This helps remove contaminants that settle out while sitting, especially with nondetergent oil. Bob@allisdowneast

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

make sure you use a non-detergent oil, and when putting on new filter push filter straight down over the tube down don't turn or twist it till it hits the threads..
