Hydraulic Filter replacement

[deadstick]

I'm coming up on my 100 hours and wanted to get the necessary hydraulic filter on order.

I searched the post archives and parts database and found no reference to any generic filters for the PT-425. Does anyone know if there are any generic hydraulic filters?

Also, I know I change the oil at 100hrs but I don't have to change the hydraulic oil do I?

i have it and must find it ....please look tomorrow again

I think Power Trac recommends changing the hydraulic oil only when it starts getting dirty, whatever that means. I look at it every 8 hours and it is still crystal clear.

Hi bubenberg,

You ever find the info?

Thanks...

FWIW, my PT1845 came with a Gresen K-23018 hydraulic filter which crosses to NAPA 1759 and Case D80538. I have no idea if the same filter is used on 425s.

here it is, sorry for the delay!
NAPA 1551, make sure it is rated at 10 micron.

good luck and happy tractoring ... i am loading pieces of a 60 foot maple tree on to the dump truck (with the grappler bucket) in this heat. i am so glad we don't have to do it by hand any longer.

how do you suggest that we put this filter info. in our online self help catalog?

please anyone can chime in of how to do this best .... thanks guys and ladies

 

[deadstick]

Thanks bubenberg.....

I would put it in the online parts db in Yahoo. I can add it once I buy it if you want...

 

[deadstick]

I just added it. Went out and bought me a couple. Thanks for the info bubenberg...

 

[bubenberg]

thanks for the offer, that would be great!

 

[bubenberg]

how much did you save per filter?

 

[deadstick]

I actually don't know how much Power-Trac themselves charge for the filter. It was more a convenience issue in that I could go down to my local auto parts store and get it rather than wait for it to come in the mail. My guess is that Power-Trac wouldn't beat $6.69 a pop. But if so, so be it...

 

[bubenberg]

i found my last invoice. they have come down about a dollar and are now $15.00 plus whatever the shipping charge to your zip code is. so i guess we will be able to save some money buying them locally.

Cool, two for the price of one. I'll take it...
