Adding Hydraulic Filter on Typhon

[drawthree]

I got a chance today to get a hydraulic filter and temperature sensor plumbed into the return line on my Typhon mini-x today. I thought I'd share a couple pictures and part numbers of what I used in case anyone else has a similar machine and needs to add a filter.

I needed two fittings to go from the metric din fittings to ntp on the filter head - those are:

5307L-15-08
5007L-15-08

The filter head and filter I used are:

Buyers FH625
Baldwin BT839-10

I also added a temperature sensor into one of the ports on the filter head so I can make sure I'm not overheating the system. The pictures of the gauge are one with the machine off and the other running and warmed up a little.

Someone in a different thread asked about where I bought the parts -- the fittings were from a local hydraulic shop and the other stuff was:

Very nice.

It is amazing what kind of LCD gauges you can buy these days, cheap. Your engine probably puts out plenty of current for these.

I got this LCD AC/DC voltmeter for my old Onan generator I refurbished. It was only $10-15.

Thanks for that! Just ordered the parts.

That was I and I appreciate you providing the part list. Out of curiosity, to get enough slack to use the same return hose but to your new filter housing, was there any thing special you had to do? Just looking at my Typhon the hose seems fairly tight. Otherwise it looks like an easy install if I get the parts.

 

[drawthree]

No there was enough slack/movement in my return line to use it as is. I just had to move it so it routes above the pump housing instead of below it.

 

[MattB4]

Went ahead and ordered the parts. Most were not a bad price with the exception of the swivel adapter ($27!) Can't say I like the shipping cost from DiscountHydraulicHose.com much either. Getting $15 for shipping two small brass fittings is excessive. Just could not source them elsewhere. All told with tax and shipping my price was $84.30 to add filtration.

Yeah I got lucky being able to source the fittings from a local shop - it was only about $20 total for both fittings that way.

I just ordered the fittings from a random site I found called onehydraulics.com. You can get both fittings there for about $20 total plus $15 shipping. Better by far than the $35-$50+ the major sites want for the 5307L-15-08.

Thank you Drawthree, all those part numbers worked perfectly. Hydraulic filter is on and working, no leaks yet after a test run.

Quick question can't remember if I've seen it answered before: the Typhon type machines have a glass gauge on the hydraulic tank (left side hyd tank mount) that's both hydraulic fill level and temperature. Is the hydraulic fluid supposed to be filled to about the top of the gauge? Because mine came that way and after putting the filter on I added a little more to put it back to full again. The return port into the tank is a quart or two submerged when it's filled that far. Is this correct?

I'm glad the parts listing helped you out. And yes, I think it is supposed to be at about the top of the sight glass.

 

[MattB4]

On mine I have it about 2/3 up to the top of the sight glass. It allows for expansion of the oil as it heats up.

Still waiting on the adapter fittings. I received notice that the swivel one was on Backorder. Was a bit surprised on how small the filter head unit was in relation the filter.

Pretty ticked off at Discount Hydraulic Hose. Called them Monday about no progress on my order and was told they had just got in the part. They sent me a USPS tracking number but as of yet (Thursday) the USPS has not received it. Looking at my CC I see they billed me on Monday plus also placed a second pending amount that would in effect double charge if it goes through. So now I need to keep checking my account.

Bad enough to pay a high part price, and an outlandish shipping price, and end up with nothing after this much time. They sure will never see any business from me after all this is done.

 

[MattB4]

I got in the remaining parts in the afternoon mail. It took me a good hour to install the filter mostly because my return hydraulic line was short. Having to get the hose pulled and stretched enough to allow the swivel nuts to tighten on either side of the filter assembly was a fight. Especially with hydraulic oil making my hands slippery and the tight working area where all this stuff is at.

Filled back up the hydraulic oil and ran it a bit to check for problems. It seems to be A-OK.

Once again my thanks to "drawthree" for providing the part numbers. I likely would have not bothered with a filter if I had to try and figure things out myself.

 

[drawthree]

I'm glad it worked out for you. It's interesting that the return line was so tight on your machine - mine had plenty of length. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they don't have a specific length they use all the time. I bet as long as it reaches or isn't so long it could be cut up for two uses they just go with it.
