![]() Did I make a FATAL MISTAKE? I will appreciate any advice.įirst, there is a wide variety of thread-locking compounds, with a variety of characteristics. Now I am afraid to run the tractor until I get some advice. I did not mention to him that I had skipped the locktite. I did ask my son when he was here for a visit to try to turn the drain plug to ensure I had it tight. I was just thinking that it was unnecessary as long as I checked the tightness every time I change the oil. I did not think anything about the fact that locktite might be a thread sealant. ![]() My concern now is that I did not use threadlock on the new drain plug or adapter nipple that the filter fits on. Now It soon will be time to mow here in Michigan and I am afraid that I may have made a big mistake in my installation process. I did some internet searching and found utube videos on how to change the system to the traditional filter system. Problem is that the easy change oil filter costs too much and it only replaces about. I cannot afford to hire my lawn mowed so thought this was a perfect solution. I sold it for just enough to buy a JD 130 (hydrostatic and power steering). I sold my husbands big 35 year old Kubota lawn tractor last year because it had no power steering or hydrostatic shift. I am probably an idiot so please, fellows, be kind with your cirticism. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum.
