Filters

[Bob Ha]

Winter is getting close and I'll be changing all fluids and filters but my dealer went out of business. I guess I'll be buying online and paying delivery charges but what's one to do. Where does everyone else get NH filters (Fuel, Inner/Outer air, Engine and Hydraulics)? I would prefer to stay with NH products.

I've checked one dealer that offers online pricing and they're competitive to what my dealer charged last year with the exception of the Hydraulic filter (50% higher).

New Holland TN75

Thanks,

Bob

Messick's has decent pricing on NH filters. We don't have a NH dealer either, so I had to do a lot of research, some of which I was not happy with. I found the hydraulic filter was up substantially with everyone I checked with, including Messick's. Although I know you would like to stay with NH, a good decision in my mind, here are some of the legitimate crosses I found for the TN75F if anyone finds themselves in a pinch.

Oil -Baldwin B7219, Wix 57075
Hydraulic - Baldwin BT8899, Wix 57794
Fuel - Fleetguard FF5135, Baldwin BF587D, FRAM P1145A, Wix 33472
Outer Air - Fleetguard AF25291, Baldwin RS3542, FRAM CA9269, Wix 46671

Notes: the FRAM outer air is longer than it should be. The Baldwin hydraulic filter is less than 1/2 cost.

Bob, take the numbers that svcguy supplied and stop in at your nearest NAPA autoparts store. You might be surprised how much they carry. Even Autozone or O'reilly Auto might be able to cross some of those numbers.

If you do decide to cross numbers, I would try directly from the NH numbers, which apparently everyone has the ability to do. The reason why I mention it is that someone crossed the NH with a Baldwin oil filter (didn't have it in stock), then to a FRAM from there, realized the FRAM actually crossed with a Baldwin they had in stock and I wound up with an oil filter that was draining every night because it wasn't designed to be installed in the down position. It appears a cross from original New Holland numbers (directly) is the safest way to go, as FRAM didn't have a cross with New Holland, but apparently was listed as an 'as fit' filter with the Baldwin cross.

The Baldwin listed is fine.

I did my research and the only item with a big difference is the Hydraulic filter (73% difference).

Have you used the Baldwin Hydraulic filter (BT8899) and the Fuel filter (BF587-D)? If so, any issues?

I am using all Baldwin filters on mine at this time, but I can't honestly comment on them as I have no long term experience with them. We don't have a New Holland dealer anywhere in the area so I went with Baldwin. All three filters, oil, fuel and hydraulic seem to be exact duplicates of the New Holland. They are well made filters and have a decent reputation. The fuel filter did not include the plastic drain on the bottom, but was tapped and plugged so that you may use your NH drain it if you wish. The Baldwin hydraulic filter was substantially less money, about what the New Holland was a year ago. I tend to change oil and filters quite a bit, so don't worry quite as much as some. I have always liked WIX filters, but where we are they are quite costly.

My father owns an automotive shop/parts store (we carried tractor supplies also) and all that I have used in my tc30 is wix filters. As a previous post said, be careful when crossing part numbers because some of the parts" techs" at the chain stores only know how to punch in the numbers into the computer. I worked in parts for over 10 years and used the old fashioned book system. It may be a little slower,but the books have alot of tech data that is useful. I actually was able to put a larger oil filter on my tractor by matching up the specs on the filter (thread size, gasket diameter, working pressure, and relief valve) the relief valve is what keeps the oil from draining back into crank case. Not to be pushing wix filters but they do make good products at a reasonable price. When I first started and several years into it fram was the big filter in my area for farm/ industerial equipment, then came along the wix line. I was reluctant to switch over (already memorized the popular fram part numbers), but we were forced to change over by our supplier. The Wix line does seem to cater to the farm/industerial consumer more than fram did (at least in our area).

I would use WIX filters in a heartbeat. I have used them on equipment for years and always been happy, but I have to travel down to Spokane, WA to pick them up. Here in British Columbia I have to pay about three times as much for WIX filters than any others which makes them a bit out of reach. The Baldwin are competitive with FRAM or others here, so I am using them until I can pick up the New Holland oil and air filters. I think I will stick with the Baldwin hydraulic and fuel for now. The savings on the hydraulic filter alone is almost a 5 gallon container of Universal Tractor Fluid.

On my 1700 NH crosses differently to Wix and Fram. I started using Wix and it is closer to OEM that fram. Now that I compare fram to Wix realize how the Wix is superior to the fram I used to use.

JC,

The FRAM filter that crossed to the New Holland oil was totally unsuitable as an inverse filter. The WIX and the Baldwin on the otherhand seem identical. I like Bob's idea though, stick with the New Holland if practical, there is no question the NH is correct.
