Picture of the oil strainer connected to the pipe assembly?

[Redmond49]

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.

This might or might not help.

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..

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)

Thank you all for the replies, very helpful.
