DEUCE spin on oil filters!!!!

[4x4 Forever]

I like the fact that someone else actually writes the install date on the filter. Sometimes, when yer gettin older, you have a tendency to forget such important things! Nice Install!

Put my spin on fuel filters on the Deuce last night, and boy, was I glad I did. The cartridge filters had rust and just a ton of nasty. Probably saved my engine. Thanks to JaTonka for a great product.

My first post in this thread was in May 2007. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the jatonka spin on filters. I have all of them. Never a problem and easy to install.

Thank you, once again John Tennis for your efforts and our good luck.

Thanks for the research feedback! I have been looking into the different filters and planning to possibly go with the spin on filters you covered when I do my first oil change on my deuce (first time MV owner). Any recommendations as to the best way to capture the oil that I am going to have to drain? What is it about 5 1/2 gallons worth..

Thanks again for the information, I am reading and learning a lot from the forum threads.

I also have these filters from JT, awesome! Quick oil pressure and easy to install for the mechanically DEclined guy that I am. I actually did my spin on adapter install in the dark by flashlight!!! I had to try to challenge myself LOL. They work great and reduced my oil leaks from 99 to 97.

I also got the spin on fuel filters. They helped increase my power by allowing me to get fresh filters on. I hated changing to old type so never would do it. Now it's a breeze.

does anyone know if he is still making these? also can you post a link to buy , thanks.

Militarysteel, I saw these filters at this parts site: http://www.easternsurplus.net/duece_spares.html

I will have to do some saving up or shop for a better price for these. If anyone knows of a cheaper price please let me know.

Thanks.

Look for him in the classifieds, Or at a show close to you... They are much cheaper through him. I saved a days wages buying direct. BTW I've got 2weeks 300 miles on my oil spin ons and LOVE umm!

I am coming up on three years with the spin oil filters from jatonka. I cannot imagine not having them on the deuce. Really.

The spin on fuel filters are beginning the second year. NO MORE RUSTY CANS!

Thanks again John.

Just installed on the 109, ordered filters from John as well. I have had these on the M35 for two years now and have never had any trouble, oil pressure builds alot quicker. I also bought the canvass shift boot covers for the tranny and transfer, it is amazing how much heat comes up through the shift stick opening. Thanks for the fast service John.

Mine have been installed on my deuce for 6 months. They are easy to install, work great and oil pressure comes up so fast protecting my engine. Thanks John for a great product.

I just looked back and realized I have had the jatonka spin on oil filters since at least January 2007 on my first deuce. They have been absolutely flawless. Perfect. Easy to install, no leaks, no problems and immediate oil pressure.

I liked them so much I put on the spin on fuel filters, primary and secondary, that have performed as well. I much prefer the design of the jatonka primary spin on adapter for ease and simplicity of the install.

If you have not got them, get them. You will not be sorry.

I just got mine installed today,a very easy install.Oil pressure comes up pretty fast.

John is an excellent guy to deal with. Tell him welldigger said hello.

 

[scorpion6]

Will do and thank you sir.

A few pages back (page 13) a member mention the pressure drop from oil pump-filters-oil gallery. Thus the talk about how these engines were more prone to failure due to not being worked vs their tractor counterparts.

My question would be, this seems from the OEM filters not having anti-drain back valves and thus the motor running on non-pressurized oil on account of the oil filters taking forever and a day to fill?

 

[scorpion6]

Yes, yes, and yes. The filters are also upside down in the installation so this too adds to the drain back difficulties.

Thanks, when I fine one this is the first thing I'm doing to it. Fuel included.
