I have some questions for you guys about the oil and hydro filters. I went to my local Massey dealer and asked specifically for the oil and hydro filters for the GC1720 that I have. They gave me 6258877M91 - Hydraulic Filter 3710280M2 - Oil Filter which matches the AGCO Parts book.
Before I drained a drop of oil, I checked the filters against what I already have and they do not look like they match. The OEM oil filter from Denso (ISEKI) is a smaller diameter than the AGCO one. The Hydro filter which I expected to look like a standard oil filter has a straight passthrough and vents on the top that looks more like a replacement drop-in type cartridge with separate o-rings/washer and looks nothing like what is under the tractor (MF gray spin-on/off filter).
So my questions: Are these the right filters? Is the larger diameter oil filter a problem? When I drain my hydro fluid and spin off the existing filter/housing, will the new one fit inside of that? Forgive my ignorance, but the maintenance guide is quite heavily lacking in the detail department.
Appreciate the help and if anyone has pics of their AGCO branded replacements from their 50 hour service, please show me.
