Oil & Fuel Hyd filter

[Jesse masterson]

Well I'm gonna ask the same question again, does anyone know a alternative Hyd filter for a dk 45 s beside factory I know it was listed on a thread at 1 time but can't find

 

[krazsk]

Ask again and i will answer again. Nope.

 

[Jesse masterson]

Ha thought somebody else may have. An opinion I already know what yours is haha

 

[krazsk]

I shouldn't be so short and such a smart@$$, but I will be SHOCKED, SHOCKED and double SHOCKED if you get a cross here. I've looked and looked, checked with Wix, followed every blog here that asks and never found anyone that has found a substitute for the hydrostatic or hydraulic filter. I think one was $109 and the other like $35 when I bought them last week. I hate to tell you, but the NOPE was a lot closer to the answer than an opinion.

ditto nope.

I'd shop around. There are some dealers selling them a bit cheaper. I've seen the hydraulic filter around $65 but you still have to pay shipping.

 

[Jesse masterson]

That's ok I wasn't insulted but I hope your wrong

Members have found engine oil, air and fuel for the various models but the hydro filters seems to be Kioti only. You could try a Bobcat dealer because they have the same model: CT445.

Hydrostat filter or Hydraulic system filter? I imagine the hydraulic system filter could easily be replaced with another.
Hydrostat filter is a bit pricey but I like that its made in Japan and not China and it might be an expensive mistake to find out the cheap replacement isn't a good quality one.

It's a tranny/ hydraulic filter I figured napa or somebody had one that's quality but napa couldn't cross the number I have a caterpillar that uses a 10 dollar filter and it's a much more expensive machine 40 dollars for a filter is to much

It's not that I'm cheap or anything I just don't like being gouged

Me too! I guess you'll have to do some measuring and figure out the thread for the filter mount as well as the overall diameter, also you'd have to guess what the by-pass pressure is on the factory filter. Must be pretty low considering the construction seems the same as a motor oil filter?

 

[krazsk]

I am cheap, (and I don't like being gouged either)

You aren't being gouged...
The filters cost us dealers dearly also.

[Jesse masterson]

Well your being gouged to then there's no way they cost that much to manufacure
