98' MF 231 Filter References

[Travis_R]

Here is the fuel and engine oil filter references for the 1998 Massey Ferguson 231. The Napa Gold filters are a for sure fit, because thats what I use most. I crossed the numbers over on the Baldwin and Wix filters website, but havent actually used the Baldwin and Wix filters on this model tractor, although Im pretty sure they would be the correct filters.

NAPA GOLD- fuel filter--------#3166
NAPA GOLD- engine oil filter--#1460

AGCO- fuel filter————#3405418M2

BALDWIN- fuel filter---------#BF825
BALDWIN- engine oil filter---#BT215

WIX- fuel filter------------#33166
WIX- engine oil filter------#51460

I hope this helps,
Travis R

To date (02-17-2014), the filters that I haven't had a chance to use on my MF 231 out of all the filters listed above is the Donaldson fuel filter, none of the Perkins filters, none of the Fleetguard filters, and none of the Fram filters, but I'm sure they are the correct filters just like all the others. The only brand I wouldn't use is Fram, because I don't use Fram filters.

*****PLEASE READ!*****

These filter numbers are for a 1998 Massey Ferguson 231 tractor with the 3 cylinder Perkins AD3.152 Diesel engine. This model was in production for 10 years, from 1989 - 1999. The filter numbers ARE NOT FOR the 231S model that took the place of the 231.

WOW! Today is 03-22-2022. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years since I last posted on this thread. Fixing to change the fuel filter on my tractor and found a box of about 10 Donaldson fuel filters in my shed that I purchased in February 2012! I remember getting a good deal off eBay.
