It shows the actual removal, gasket oiling, and hand-tightening the new filter. Useful mainly for BX23S owners facing an overtightened filter.
Posted by the StoneCross Creations channel, apparently an owner sharing a real DIY maintenance hiccup on their own tractor.
The owner used an $11 filter wrench from AutoZone with a pipe added to the end for extra leverage, after a homemade tool broke trying to remove an overtightened filter.
Yes, after rubbing oil on the gasket, the new filter was hand tightened rather than tightened with tools.
The transcript suggests it was overtightened, with the owner joking about not knowing who put it on so tight during the first oil change at 50 hours.
