I have a 1967 Ford 3500 with 735 Loader and 753 Backhoe. Plan today was to change hydraulic oil and filter; CNH got for me a 86546604 kit, which has a steel mesh, pleated paper canister and cork gasket with 2 diam. hole. They said this was what I needed for the reservoir in the left side 735 vertical support.
I loaded and moved some forestry debris and dug up a stump to get the oil nice and toasty warm, then drained it. Took the filter flange out. Wow--found a home-made screen over a textile tube and matching cork gasket with 3-inch inside diams., instead of the 2 inch in the kit. Length of the tube/screen is 9 inches and of the replacement filter 12.5 inches. The flange is clearly set up to accept a 3 inch I.D. screen or filter. The long bolt would only work with a 9 inch cartridge as well.
The photos show the situation. Old stuff on left, common stuff in the middle, new stuff on right. The 735 Operators Manual does not show a parts breakout, and the CNH parts diagrams do not show any detail either, telling you to see some mysterious Fig. 17 for breakdown that I cannot find. Messicks diagrams are just as cryptic. I do not think the New Holland parts guy will be any further help.
Surely someone (soundguy, RickB?) has done a hydraulic oil/filter change in a late 60s 735 loader. Can you clear up this situation with the correct kit? I do not want to re-use the jack-leg screen that has no filter paper. I need a good diagram to see if there are more OEM parts I will need as well to get it right.
