Hydraulic fluid

[TN8Man]

What's a few knuckles ...

I used a belt type wrench with a longer handle to get leverage.

So, wait, they install the filter and paint over them? So the filter when bought new is the same color as the frame?

Yes they do. How else would they keep from painting the block’s oil seal seating surface

Just curious, as mine are not painted over. I’d assume just like a powder coater doesn’t paint bearing surfaces? Prep work?

A new JD comes factory with green filters. When you start to unscrew them you see black and maybe some white lettering on the other side and you realize it was just painted over from the factory. When you buy JD filters they are painted black.

I've been running that Triax synthetic hydraulic fluid. It's been working fine. The first fluid change is the most important IMO. Everything is new, with moving metal parts rubbing together, and you're going to have some metal debre that wears off. The screen in the transition/hydraulic in my JD 5075E was very loaded up at about 270 hours. Whether car/truck/tractor/etc I find that the first fluid change after break in is always the one with the most trash in it.

I have been using the manufacturer's fluids and following their maintenance schedule, and I will as long as it's covered by warranty. Fluids are cheap compared to paying out of pocket for warrantied maintenance because the fluids weren't up to spec.

Here ya go, took me a bit to find it. Post #4 shows the complete video; Yes, they do paint over the Hyd filter (at least with that particular model shown)... Skip to 4:23 and 5:10 of the vid for the primer/painting portions.

Yes they paint over the filters but no, the paint won't hold the filter in place. Unless they were applying the paint on the seal of the filters. Highly unlikely.

The only reason the filters are borderline stuck in the filter housings is because they thread the filters with the seal completely dry and then over tighten the cr@p out of it.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Just sort of shocked, I've never bought a new piece of equipment with the filters painted over.

I have a pair of Knipex xxl pliers, they work very nicely on stubborn filters.
