Theroundhousernr 589 #26 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Dang... I was only 156 away from a series II lol I have similar luck when it comes to gambling . That's why I invest my money in tractors According to the KT17 owners manual. There where three types of air cleaners models: tear drop , square , and round. Some with anti-icing system.

SousaKerry 501 #27 Posted June 16, 2014 The spin on oil filter was an option, The Cub motors had them I know cause that's what's in mine. They are a real pain to get to though, you have to remove the belt guard to even see it. I kind of wonder if you could not use a remote filter kit from a car engine?

JackC 617 #28 Posted June 17, 2014 The Series II has an oil filter port cover on the engine block that is behind the PTO on a Wheel Horse application. The bottom of the cover is under the top of the drive belt in the photo below. The cover can be removed and an oil filter adapter or remote unit can be installed. There is also a port for adding an oil pressure gauge. Wheel Horse did not use the oil filter. You can jazz up the engine compartment of a Series I by adding the chrome air cleaner from a 417. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,168 #30 Posted June 17, 2014 Thank you JackC for that detail and pic about the oil filter being on the series ll - - I had a chance this morning to check both my engines and by golly one of them does have that cover! and it is on the tractor that has a mower deck, so I can feel much more comfortable about mowing on the few grades on my property. This forum and its members continually amaze me at the info that come forth here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneroadkingman 53 #31 Posted June 17, 2014 definitely a good find, but then again any Wheel Horse is a good find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
