Has anyone else had problems changing the hydraulic filter? My filter got damaged, and I'm in the process of replacing it. When I went to screw the new filter on, instead of the filter screwing onto the stud, the stud screwed into the transaxle housing. I ended up draining the fluid (which I hadn't intended to do, as I just changed the fluid about 20 hrs ago. I'm currently waiting for the fluid to stop dripping enough so I can try to secure the stud in the housing with Locktite. We're supposed to have more snow on the way, and I need my tractor to clear the yard.
