L3130HST 50 hour service question

[curt1]

I finished my 50 hour service and had a couple of question's to ask everyone. I have an L3130HST which has two hydraulic filters...one is the hydraulic filter and the other the HST filter. The manual says when installing the hydraulic filter to turn it a half turn after it makes contact, which was easy to do by hand.
Now the problem...the manual says to turn the HST filter ONE FULL TURN with a filter wrench...I was only able to turn it a half turn with my filter wrench, and it felt very tight. Does Kubota make a special wrench for this type of filter? And has everyone with a Hydro filter been able to turn it the full turn? I have been told by my dealer that this filter is a high pressure filter...will it matter if it was only tightened a half turn?
And by the way I really like my L3130 and LA723 loader. It is a fine machine. I also enjoy Tractorbynet very much as I have learned more here than I have anywhere else. Thanks for your input.

The OEM filters I got for my 50 hour service were marked to show how much to turn. I don't remember how much each was but it differed from the manual. I do remember that they were not hard to turn the indicated amount.

Thanks Vernon. I did not think to look at my OEM filters---as I should have. The half turn on each must be working as I did not see any leaks today after I ran it for a few minutes. I will check my filters and use that information next time.
