I have been testing a set of spin on oil filter adapters fabricated by John Tenis. John patterned his adapters after evaluating two different styles produced for use on our engines when used in the Oliver Tractors. Originally Oliver tractor used the deuce engine with the standard oil filter canisters. Later models came with the modified filter housing allowing the use of spin on filters. Owners of older models wanting the spin on filter option could purchase a set of adapters to put on the stock engines. Two types of adapters were manufactured, one of stamped steel that was subject to warping and the other of aluminum. I examined both types and John has trashed the stamped steel one and beefed up the aluminum design. As of this date the filters have been on my truck for over 300 miles. The oil pressure gage's jumps to life within 3 seconds and maintains my pre adapter oil pressure of 60 psi. With NO LEAKS. The NAPA filter is the recommended Oliver Tractor equivalent with an anti drain back feature that does not leak oil when removed.
Installing the adapters for the first time during an oil change adds no additional time to a standard canister oil change. The installation is straight forward and requires no additional plumbing or modification of the original canisters. The original parts can be saved and reinstalled at any time.

Here are some pictures to show the installation.

I will have the deuce at Aberdeen see you all there

Very nice, I relally like the idea of a cleaner filter change, if possible.

I like this way a lot better than having to run remote oil lines and a remote filter base. Is this the same principal as the tractor setup? What about bypass?

I really like this design -- its of the same design from dodge that I used on my 1963 d300 with the poly 318. I'll take 2.
