Oil filter doesn't fit!! Weird

[BethelHntr]

Kioti dealers are a bit far. The one that came off the tractor uses 18x1.5 threads, nearest i can tell. The NAPA and Wix ones are 20x1.5

You can usually have the dealer mail filters to you, My dealer is 2 hour drive there and back they have no problem mailing items. Just a option.

Won't help my situation. The filter on the tractor isn't the stock one.

Is there a way to find an illustrated parts list for this machine? If i can find that filter adapter, i could buy the stock one and put it on.

Go here and follow instructions. Bobcat Parts - Bobcat Company

You will find the part # is 6696871 for the adapter. Washer is 6696904, filter 6696286. Parts will show under the gear cover.

I will have my oil pan and filter off in a couple of hours and will report back what I find on my sizing. Just know for sure the wix filter is a fit.

Thank you so much! I finally figured out those part diagrams. I'll call a dealer and see if i can get them to ship one to me.

A picture of my adapter and it checks out to be a 20mm-1.5.

Wow that's a first for me.

Hard to see the benefit for an individual to change the adaptor to a non stock filter.

Back in the day on the farm my dad would do that on a lot of the tractors to stock one filter as much as possible. Installed remote filters on some but would return it to stock if he sold it.

Alright, so the plot thickens, substantially.
I called up the local bobcat dealer, and ordered a list of parts. Got all the filters, and a pin. Took a bit to get the pin, so i asked them to ship it all together, and just received it all.
I ordered both the oil filter, and the "tube, connecting" which is the adapter in the picture i took above.

To my surprise, the new filter, which is the factory part, is the exact same size as the one on the tractor. It's an 18mm threaded hole. The "tube, connecting" is identical to the one on the tractor. WTF?

So, i have no clue as how to locally source filters. My bobcat dealer isnt really local, and closes at 4, im assuming because they cater to contractors, not shmuck home owners, like me.

Has anyone else had this issue? It's strange.

Maybe mine is the odd ball?
