Has anyone had any luck with finding/developing a remote filter mounting kit for the hydrostat on the JD2210? I’m performing my 200 hour maintenance, replacing the hydrostatic fluid and filter, and noticed several large dents in the filter shell. I’ve read here on TBN that several other owners have actually pierced their filters and lost their fluid. (only 3.4 gallons)
I thought I would consider a remote filter location and spent some time laying under the tractor looking of a good location. I think I’ve found one, but I’m having some trouble locating a spin on adaptor and remote base that fits our filter size. I think I want to keep the same filter to ensure the proper micron filtration. The filter thread is 1” diameter with 14 threads per inch. The gasket/O-ring size is 2-5/8 inch to the center of the O-ring.
I’ve checked several auto parts stores and have search the internet, but have not located adapter and base to match this filter. Perma-cool does have a remote base with the proper threads, but it doesn’t state O-ring size. They only have spin on adapters of the ¾”, 13/16”, and some metric sizes, but not the 1”-14.
If anyone has come up with a remote mount setup, our has some additional suggestions of where I might look, it would be greatly appreciated.
