Kioti Baldwin fuel filter fix

[JimR]

I installed a Baldwin fuel filter on my NX4510 HST yesterday. The company that sent this to me said that the water in the filter sensor will not fit in this filter. Yes it will, you just need to run a .400 drill into the drain hole and tap it out with the appropriate metric tap. I did mine and the sensor fits and works fine. Make sure you blow the filter out from the top end to remove any chips. I drilled mine from the underside with the filter in my padded vise.

So do you have a filter number and a price?

BF-5587-D I paid $12.20 free shipping from EBay. I just bought 2 more the other day for spares.

Ok thanks, a good bit cheaper than dealer.

Wow, interesting!

I just saw someone in the UK (on ebay) selling a dozen of these for about $50. I'm checking if they ship internationally: their notes are really confusing on this matter.

I think you will find that it would be well worth it.

Bummer, they responded that they don't ship International.

That is too bad. When I had my Audi Quattro convertible I bought a Westfalia hidden trailer hitch for it from a company in the UK for less than half price and they shipped it here for me.
