I promised my friend King that I had one last BX project left in me. Well I actually started it several months ago, but with the Garage addition going on I have not had time until today to complete it.
To some of you, changing out the oil filter is really easy, and I agree. But it makes a mess of the equipment directly below the filter as it come off. I hate that. So I installed a remote filter adapter. I used the Summit kit as the foundation for this modification, although that kit's filter base asapter is too large. You will not find a kit with a filter base adapter in the 2-3/4" diameter range - you have to make it. I bought aluminum 2-3/4" solid rod and built my own. You can see it here in these pics.
Coupled with the Summit kit ( $40.00) and my homemade adapter ( help by Larry Joe ) I installed it today and give it the :thumbsup:
I can now installed a large oil filter on this pedestal if I want to for filtering media. When this oil filter comes off there is not mess. The oil filter is full, but the hoses drain back. Oil pressure is the same at idle. The hose have plenty of room near the hydraulic hoses. I may put protective sleeving on them anyway.
