I'm trying to sort out the correct oil filter for my 3 Ford tractors. (see signature). All 3 show in the parts manuals as taking a NH 86546614. However, when you cross over to other brands, (I'll use Baldwin as an example), the results are confusing. Baldwin says to use a BT111, but also lists B2 and BT5 for Ford tractors. Over the years buying filters for the tractors I've been given B2's and BT5's but never a B111. When I Google 86546614 very often what comes up is a B2.
B2's and BT111's are mid length and average width, but BT5's are short and bigger diameter. To make it worse, the specs on the filters vary a lot:
BT5 has anti backflow and 8 PSID bypass
BT111 has no anti backflow and 20 PSID bypass
B2 has anti backflow and 8 PSID bypass pressure.
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd sure appreciate it!
