How to change the oil filter on a Gravely Model L
To change the oil filter on a Gravely Model L, you will need to follow these steps:
1. First, gather all of the necessary tools and supplies. You will need a new oil filter, a wrench that fits the oil filter, a drain pan, a funnel, and fresh oil.
2. Locate the oil filter on your Gravely Model L. It is usually located near the bottom of the engine, and may be covered by a metal or plastic shield.
3. Place the drain pan under the oil filter to catch any oil that may spill out.
4. Use the wrench to loosen the oil filter. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it.
5. Once the oil filter is removed, allow any remaining oil to drain into the pan.
6. Clean the area around the oil filter mounting base with a clean cloth.
7. Take the new oil filter and coat the gasket with a thin layer of oil. This will help ensure a proper seal when the filter is installed.
8. Install the new oil filter by screwing it into place. Turn it clockwise to tighten it. Be sure not to overtighten the filter, as this can cause damage.
9. Once the new oil filter is installed, refill the engine with fresh oil. Use the funnel to pour the oil into the engine through the oil filler neck.
10. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the oil.
11. Check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary to bring the level up to the full mark.
Be sure to dispose of the used oil properly, and check the oil level and condition regularly to keep your engine running smoothly.
