I often try and get substitutions for hydraulic filters. Mostly for convenience but sometimes price.
I just found a sub for my mower. Textron or Jacobson 178025 filters. I got Donaldson Filters.
It took a while to find the right sizes. Some subs are shorter. But here's the thing. Micron ratings don't seem to be dealt with on substitution charts. My 178025 Filters show six different Donaldson Filters some with different micron ratings and I don't have a clue (nor will the manufacturer reveal this) as to the original spec.
Now, I am leary about installing my new filters. They are about eleven inches long and five inches in diameter (two of them, one after the other) on the suction side of my hydraulic wing mower.
And, are suction application filters any different?
Thoughts?
Thanks
