Is this what I think it is?

I thinnk I just foud out that I have a WW2 oil filter instead of an M38 unit... see pics below... I had totally forgotten about this, since I am working on the electrics, and looking for some stuff, I found this.







Some chalk so you can see the lettering...




I have tried to take the cartridge out, but have not been able... is there a trick to this? I haven't forced anything, and the cartridge spins freely... I'm guessing I will have to remove something else, other that the top, but have no idea...




Also, anyone willing to trade it for the correct application? I mean, if a WW2 assembly might have been compatible, I can keep it, but if someone has a CUNO out there that is willing to trade, I would be more than happy to.

Thanks,

Jorge

The Fram Oil Filter Assembly is stamped "Military Standard" which makes it proper for both WWII Applications and M-38. There are some rubber seals in the center of the cartridge that have apparantly hardened and are gripping the tube. Use some wood at the edge of the oil filter body to protect the precision sealing edge and pry out the old cartridge with a large screwdriver.
