The owner shows the mangled filter and explains the cause: the factory-installed filter's gasket wasn't lubricated before installation, despite the filter itself carrying that instruction. No other service steps are covered. Useful only as a cautionary heads-up for CT2025 owners approaching their first filter change.
Posted by the Brad Martin channel, apparently an owner sharing a frustrating first-hand maintenance experience rather than a professional or dealer.
The factory-installed filter's gasket was not lubricated with a thin layer of oil before installation, even though the filter itself instructed this step.
Check whether the gasket on the hydraulic oil filter was lubricated, since the factory filter on this tractor seized from a dry gasket.
