A new oil filler tube and oil filler cap are now available. The combination of the new oil filler tube and the new oil filler cap will improve retention of the oil filler cap.

The new 241-2942 Oil Tube Assembly replaces the older 7E-4035 Oil Filler Tube. The new 241-5645 Filler Cap or the 068-4497 Filler Cap should be used with the new 241-2942 Oil Tube Assembly. The new oil fill cap can only be used with the older oil filler tube if the present oil fill cap seems loose, or if the oil fill cap will not stay secured.
