Filters for 1533???

[dickfoster]

Does anyone know the part numbers for the oil and hydraulic / trans filter for a 1533 with 12x12 trans? I tried to look at the hydraulic filter to get a number but unfortunately it was installed prior to painting the trans and the filter was painted along with it so no numbers are visible. I'm approaching 40 hours on my tractor now so I'm trying to prepare for the 50 hour service. I love the tractor so far but unfortunately the service from my dealer has been terrible. They were great until they cashed our check and after that we've had bad service. So I'd perfer to go to another dealer to buy my filters, order them or go with another brand if someone else is making filters for it. Are after market filters available from Wix or another company for the 1500 series or do you have to stick with factory filters?

If you look in the mahindra section you can find the write ups I did for my 1538. The 1538 and 33 use the same engine so the engine oil and fuel filters should be the same. The only variable may be the hydraulic filter as I have a shuttle/gear machine so if you have an HST the hydraulic filter is likely different. You may want to save yourself a little pain by going though the write ups if this is your first time. The manual isn't much of an aid and is even misleading in some cases.

The trans/steering circuit spin on for our 1635 came from the dealer, as do the air filters. The oil/Fuel are Baldwin's from Car Quest.

NAPA tried to find me a replacement hydro filter. I took the old one in and he found one in the book, which he said, "was close". But I elected to get the MF filter. There is one thing, which might be unique about the MF filter, for the 1529, at least .... the inner ring (concentric to the seal) is a magnet. I don't know whether this was the thing, which was different or not. Also, I haven't checked the old filter to see, if it would lift off the filter or, if it was cemented on. ??

I finally got around to looking over my old hydro filter. The magnet lifts right off of the filter. This magnet, might be the only difference between a $41 Napa filter and a $68, Massey Ferguson filter! If so, pull and clean the magnet and drop it on the Napa filter. I didn't see anything unusual inside the MF filter ... just a paper cartridge.

To be honest, I can't say for sure, that the new filter had the magnet.

Somehow it seems foolish to just compare the "looks" of a spin on filter and then just assume that if it looks the same and spins on and fits that it will be O.K.
What is the micron rating?
What is the bypass valve value?
What is the actual area of filter medium?

Until I know the answers to those questions, and / or get the recommendation from the filter manufacturer, I'll stick with what the tractor Manufacturer recommends.
I payed way too much for my tractors to just "take a whack" at matching up something as important as filtration of the lubrication system.

I totally agree!
