Hi, I recently purchased a JD 310SE for personal use and its my 1st time working with heavy machinery.
I would like to know if there is a recommended tool to remove this filter. I released pressure from the system (dip stick removal) and used a friction type filter wrench but could not unseat the filter.
I read somewhere to tap into the bottom with an Awl to drain the fluid then tap in a screw driver into the can and use this to unscrew the filter. Seems brute force and can do this as I have the replacement filter but figured I'd ask the experts 1st.
If there is an existing posting related to this I did not find it in the search.
Also, if there are specific maintenance postings related to this series of JD 310's that would be great. The 310 has 6000 hours on it and seems to be in decent condition with only minor leaks on two cylinders.
Appreciate any suggestion.
