2019 Workmaster 40. Looking for an engine oil filter yesterday....

Dealership says they've been waiting for months.

NAPA says they can't even look up a filter for it.

O'reilly Auto Parts also has no listings for it.

I ended up ordering one from Messick's hoping it's the correct filter. Should be here in a week or so, I hope.

This is ridiculous.

Messick's will never steer you wrong!

bought a 51348 at O Reilly's Saturday. i always tell him to replace it because he only stocks one.

That's the current part number for the most widely used Ford/New Holland CUT engine oil filter ever. It's roots go back at least to the 1710 tractor that came out in 1983.

51348? I'll ask for that next time I go.

I ended up using an oil filter that my father had in his inventory. He's a forklift mechanic. He had a filter with very similar seal dimensions and the same thread size and pitch, so I put it on the tractor and it doesn't seem to be leaking at this time.

Messick's also did finally get a factory filter to me after waiting over a week. So now I've got a spare.

When I use the filter Messick's sent, I'll go ahead and get a 51348 from the local store to keep on hand from now on. Thanks guys.
