GC2300 broken hydraulic oil filter flange

Did you end up using the 7089 napa filter?
And if you did, any problems using that filter?

I don't know about your particular application, but I use Napa filters on cars, trucks, tractors, etc. I've had good luck. If you got a good parts person at the Napa store they can cross reference it for you and answer a lot of questions. I'm lucky, our Napa auto parts clerk is an elderly guy named bob, been doing this 30+ years and I'm in a small town. That helps me out a bunch.

He was asking, because there is no known cross reference in this application.

The NAPA filter wouldn't be cheaper anyway, so it doesn't make sense.

...I had to remind her about my philosophy on tool ownership:
If I have a job to do and I open my toolbox and I don't have the tool for the job...on that day I don't have enough tools,
If I have a job to do and I open my toolbox and I do have the tool for the job...on that day I have just enough tools,
But I have never opened my toolbox and thought...I have too many tools.

A good response to remember lol! Excellent job with just enough tools.
