I've been remodeling our Kubota L260 and decided while I had the seat off it was time to do some much needed work on the hydraulic filter screen.

We've been running the tractor for three years with out cleaning the filter screen just assuming the last guy did it. Ha.

The bolt heads were so rusted I had to grind them down and hammer on a socket to get a grip while hoping I didn't bust one off.

(Thanks to Steve at West Kentucky Tractor Parts for some spares.)

When I got it off and looked down into the filter I could see it was collapsed and caked with gunk.

I really couldn't see how the lift worked at all but it did.

I took carb cleaner, degreaser, hand cleaner, dawn, and navel jelly after it and after a few minutes I had it clean. I gently squeezed it back into shape, reinstalled, it and fired it up.

I climbed up on the lift arms and took myself up and it was very smooth.

I'll get some weight on it in a few weeks and really test it.

I hope we didn't do any permanent damage.

Clean you screens!

I'd a had a hard time putting that back in there, and not replacing with a new one. I would figure this one is comprimised a bit for being a good filter.

Steve and I pulled a good used one Tuesday. I left it there and drove back to Texas. I may have to call him.
