T494 HST Filter

[TN8Man]

I was told by someone here that the TYM/BRANSON filters have a different bypass volume than most aftermarket filters, so to be sure they are actually a good match... Or one could cause damage to the unit.

The [WD-724/6] Mann and Hummel Hydraulic Transmission Filter is what TYM put on my tractor so I feel confident and it would pass the warranty issue.

Was the T494 ever a Branson badged version or just TYM?

The original HST filter was 15532302100 and its mounted vertically but newer models use 19265154110 which is mounted horizontally. I wonder if they changed that because the vertically mounted filter was hanging too low and could get damaged easier.

The T494 was always a TYM... Granted TYM was using the Kukje engine before the official consolidation, so who knows what else was shared.

To be fair, TYM owned Kukje years before the official consolidation.

Now I'm really curious about this filter. My tractor is just the turbo version of the 494.

Should be exactly the same filters unless it's a model year change.

I was looking at this: 2023 TYM Parts Kit Catalog

It does show the same filters for T494 and T574.

I'm seeing exactly the same as the filter they provided.

Wait, I see the one you mean...

This one! Now I have to go back. The manual isn't clear at all. It only refers to the bigger filter and the oil filter.

I agree, the documentation could be better. I actually bought this filter from Rural King for ~$36 but when I tried to install it I found it didn't fit. This is the original filter on the older T494/T574. I had to take it back and could not find the new filter in stock anywhere. But this is not the filter TYM put on my new tractor, they used the [WD-724/6] Mann and Hummel Hydraulic Transmission Filter.

The filter you bought is still needed on your tractor though, its the other hydraulic filter.

I bought the oil filter. The picture they gave me with the tractor.

Oil filter was $20. I should call and see if they have one of these.

50 hour service is due and I want everything ready to go before I start.

Any recommendations for filter wrenches?
