Redmond49 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Does anyone have a picture of the oil strainer connected to the pipe assembly, showing the cotter pin? I can't quite see how a normal cotter pin would work there and this detail is not shown in the parts or service manuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desotodav Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I found a couple from the 53 truck motor - they show much the same as Don's photos. Best to have the split-pin with the opening end down for obvious reasons.. Edited June 21, 2016 by Desotodav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 A regular cotter pin is too slender and the float will slip off ! If you do not have the original pin, make one up using a 2 1/4 inch common nail. Sounds crude but trimmed and bent over neatly makes a good job. ( count on a farmer to use nails for many purposes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
