Oil sump screen help

[Jdsharp]

Hey all,
New here and have found a ton of great (and much needed!)info before tearing into my 51 Cub.
After dropping the oil pan I found the sump screen is in pretty bad shape and set off searching for a new one with no luck.
I have found some used one’s but figured it would be worth asking if anyone has refurbished theirs or has some advice on doing so before buying a used one?

Post a couple photos of the screen.

Usually the screen just needs a good clean up and a little straightening.

Hi,
JP Tractor Salvage, at the bottom of the page probably has a used screen assembly, if yours is not useable.
Below are pics from TM Tractor of what it should look like.

If your screen has goop inside it, a pressure washer might clean it out.

Below is the Cub and LoBoy service manual, it has lots of info. I would read the engine section, since you have the engine apart.

Eugene,
I’ve since removed the rest of the screen but it had spot missing from side to side and was fairly brittle. I did clean it up thinking I would buy some new mesh and attach it to the old to cover the hole but it was to brittle.
Thanks

All thanks for the input.i found some #20 mesh, maybe with some patients I can lift the lip and put a new piece in if the patients don’t fair so well I may default to buying a used one.

Here’s my repair. I wasn’t able to peel up the lip so I went with forming it around the outside and a couple hose clamps.

Nice fix.
