Oil & Fuel Oil filter nipple

[DOUBLEG]

I have a Task Master 438 which has a TY395 engine in it. I want to use a North American oil filter on it however the nipple is too short to accept a filter (Fram PH8A). The threads are 3/4" 16.

The nipple needs to be 1.5" or more long so that I can use an North American filter.

Anyone know where I can get a nipple so I can convert?

Thanks.

Gerry

. The threads are 3/4" 16.

Are you sure? I thought it was metric; 20x1.5

How much thread on the stock nipple is up inside the filter boss? When I made the switch, the concave domestic filter would barely touch the threads. I loosened the lock nut on the stock nipple and removed it. Then I screwed it into the filter till it had full thread engagement on the filter threads. Counting the threads visible in the filter, that should be about 3-4 full turns. Any more is not really any stronger. Holding the new filter with nipple up alongside the boss I could see that there would still be ample thread left to go up inside the boss. I re-installed the nipple with enough protruding for full filter thread engagement and locked it in that position with the nut.

DOUBLEG,
Check out this site and scroll down to "Lubricants, Oils etc" and also "Filters".
There might be some helpful information for you.

I will see if Ranch Hand Supply will ship to Canada.

My oil filter nipple just screws into the housing, no lock nut or anything like that. So I don't just want to screw it in part way to leave enough threads to grab the filter, I would be afraid that everything would just come undone. Perhaps I could use high strength thread lock to hold it.

Perhaps you could add the locknut...

Hi Jerry,
I can send you one but, I don't think one of these are going to work ....

Chinese oil filter

I pretty sure I know what you got .... you prob don't have but about 3/4 inch of threaded nipple extending out from the filter head where it screws in.

Shoot me a email ronald@ranchhandsupply.com

Also let me know what the China oil filter number is.

Thanks

I have the 395 engine in a JM354 Jinma. I don't remember the exact number of Turn on the nipple. I say two to three full turns. The nipple had a slot on the end and I used a flat piece of steel that fit the slot and back it out the said number of turns. Used a NAPA 1515 (Ford Filter). That was four years and maybe 500 hrs. ago and nothing has come apart yet. bjr

Same filter for 500 hours ?

yea, right. I just meant to say I've not experienced any difficulty changin' filters after I unscrewed the nipple a couple of threads. I change oil twice a year if I use the tractor much, otherwise at once a year. I'm a hobby farmer type and wind up doin' more for the neighbors than for myself. so I don't get huge amount of hrs on the tractor. bjr

Just to let everyone know I got a nipple to fit that extends the threads enough to use a N American filter. As it turns out a JIC coupler works just fine. Thanks to Greenline.

What took so long was I was awaiting for my dealer to get some filters (I wanted to have one that fit on hand before double checking threads etc). It turned out that he forgot to order them and then didn't get around to phoning me to says that they were in. It cost me $56 ($53US) for an oil and hyd filter.

Now I have everything set to use N American filters which I can get from a number of places.
