[billymc]

Be good to see if you can find a supplier for Yanmar bits in the UK.

ok i have taken out the filter and the ruff messurements are the thickness of the runbber ring on top is around 1 1/2 inches wide the height is around 2 3/4 and the width is around 7 1/2 im putting astocking over the intake pipe with a rubber band just now till i get sorted with a filter which i think i have found available in the uk after much searching will let you all know how it goes

Id have to do some digging, but will later today if no one pipes up. Most here have the napa # handy. The ym2000 is the sme filter and thats the same tractor as the ym240 american tractor. Im thinking you can go to fram dot com and get the part number for a ym240 tractor under the ag section it will be the same. Most folks here and on the net talk bad about fram. I too have found the quality to have gone down hill, that said i used them almost exclusively for years and never a problem. Now i have no idea how they filtered as thats really not know to the avg person in a vehicle.

Anyway the filter that fits is for some honda, but with out an application year i know that dosent help much.

I don't have a YM1500, but for a YM240/YM2000 the Baldwin B179 fits and is recommended by them. I have found some recommending the Napa 1334, and since it was Mark777, I believe him. That crosses to Baldwin filter numbers 227, 301, and 421, the same filters, apparently, except for bypass pressure.

The various Yanmars that I have call for some different filters. Napa filters for the 240 are 1064, which crosses to Baldwin 179 and 227. For my 186D, the Napa filter is 1568, which is Baldwin 161-S. The 1401D has a Fram PH3593A, which crosses to Baldwin's 421, 179, and 1402. In other words, the Baldwin 179 has the same diameter, thread pitch, and sealing face as does the 168, but varies in length (The 179 is shorter). The The filter that should go on my 1401D from Baldwin is their B227, (crossing from the YM169, which shares the same engine), or the Wix 1568, that has a little bit different dimensions.

As far as I can surmise, the differences are the overall length of the filter and the bypass pressure. I have Wix filters on some of my machines, too, but the crossover information is readily available online or in the catalogs with these numbers.

I mostly use Wix and Baldwins since I like their searching and cross reference sites, and I got a couple of their filters with tractors I bought. I like Fram filters because some of them have a grippy coating, so I can easily change them by hand, and not try to fiddle with getting a filter wrench behind and around the loader and its plumbing. Also, Wal-Mart has them locally and is open 24 hours, while Napa or the equipment dealer doesn't always have what I want, and aren't necessarily open the days or times I am free.

A good alternative would be to use one of the site sponsors like LMTC, Hoye, etc who ship and can provide the correct filter to one's door.

I change the oil and filters annually or more often, which is less than 40 hours in my applications, so I could likely get by without any oil filter whatsoever. For me, then, I don't see any difference in using one filter versus another except for availability, convenience, or something like that, with one odd exception: I'm actually starting to use the smaller filters of those available. It seems like, with their lower volume, they fill with oil more quickly after sitting for extended periods of times, which reduces the time the engine spins without oil. Since my oil change intervals are minimal anyway, this seems like a better situation than having unnecessary filtering capacity but longer times without full lubrication.

WIX Filters : Filter Look-Up

 

[284 International]

The Baldwin 227 and Napa 1334 cross reference to Bosch 3312. Not knowing what brands you have there, I'm not much help, but you should at least be able to find out what brands are available, and then their websites or catalog in the store should reveal part matches.

Cooper filters has FT5447, which matches Baldwin 421. FT4657 matches a Kubota 7100 tractor, which uses the Napa 1064. You should be able to match something up, in other words, with the data from these other filters. The thread is M20 x 1.5 and the OD of the filter is 3 inches or 76.2mm. The length varies by application, so measure what you've got on there and give it a shot. Let us know how you do; good luck!

We have got into this before, and i forget the correct pressure releive valve. But since 284 brought it up i will mention it. Some have said that the correct filter that screws on is not right i think it is Hoye's own site (aaron i did not double check if im wrong sorry and dont hold me to it) as well as some members here.

Bottom line is that if the releive setting is to low these machine i think get higher oil pressures than say a honda civic which filter may screw on but once put on if the oil is bypassing becsuse it sets the filter off because the filter media is too restricitive or something your not filtering at all!

I know your in the UK so its not economical to order from a US company. But this is the reason i order my oil filters from HOYE. They have them made to the yanmar specs, there $19.99 for a 3 pack and with the price of gas ordering a few items quicly becomes worth not having to drive to town! Anyway, i think the better quality wix filter from carquest will run me around $6 at least it does on the saturn/toyota/ briggs filter i buy there which looks the exact same although its not. Anyway three $6 filters plus tax im up to what Hoye charges and i dont have to worry about releive setting filter media, or is it a fraction of an inch to long so my drag link busts it when i turn all the way!
