Fuel Filter Assembly

suntreemcanic · Apr 22, 2019

I have a TX1500F Iseki tractor. For those of you not recognizing the model it is a two cylinder diesel, 4 wheel drive, of about 1978 vintage. The fuel filter started leaking, it is original style to the tractor. It has vents that can be opened for bleeding the system. Does anyone know of a source for one or are you using a newer replacement?

I think the filter is pretty generic. There is a user Len (lens12 I think) on this forum that can get parts, or try southern global tractor.

Can you tell what's leaking on it ? I'd think the o ring might be available locally from a good auto parts or hardware store if that's the problem.

That is the one. Wonder how I can find one in the United States?

I'd shoot lens12 a pm with what you're looking for.
If not, Southern Global Tractor probably would.

Thank you for everyones help. I was in a hurry, I needed the tractor so I bought a filter assembly from Kubota, part number 6A320-58862. It was the right size and the price was right. I had to fabricate a bracket to mount it to and the filter assembly was built for 5/16 inch fuel line and the Iseki is 1/4 inch so I had to make some adaptors. I used the tractor loader for couple hours today, no leaks.

Here is the filter I have been using since I rebuilt my tractor.
I buy them from Autozone. Its a Duralast universal filter part # FF1-4TDL.
It fits into the holder/bracket that the original filter fit into.
I didn't have to change anything or make anything to mount the filter.

there's no water separator or drain on that, so it's not made for a Diesel.. notice that the original filter has the outlet high up on the filter, so the water that accumulates will not enter the pump until you get a lot of water buildup that is..

holy mackerel !!! did you notice that the outlet on the one I'm using is on the top or up high?
The outlet is in the center of the filter element that's inside. Hmmmmmmmm so the filter
would really have to have a lot of water in it to enter pump. And its clear so I can see
if there is water buildup. I have been using those filters for 6 years so I hope
my tractor doesn't find out I've been using the wrong filter, its liable to explode.
The filter that's on my tractor now has been on there for 4 years.
As for a drain, those filters cost around $5 dollars so if it does get too
much water in it I can change it.
