help need hydraulic filter

[davidseaquist]

I posted in the equipment forum.

I am looking for a filter element for my Ingersoll rand bl370 the same tractor as a Bobcat b 300 [ earth force ] tractor loader backhoe.

I called Volvo they quoted me $190 for a filter element assembly[ 15395858 ]

I called Bobcat they quoted me $167.31 for a filter element assembly [ 6961199 ] .

I am hoping to find replacement elements and o-rings generic I would think they would be a lot cheaper.
Thanks David

I would take the filter to a hyd shop and they can perhaps figure out the size of the threaded hole, :You can then match up filter size or purchase a new filter assembly that is more readily available.

I have input filters on my machine, and they are 10 micron, return filter usually have a larger micron rating. Tank filter even larger.

Try calling Donaldson up.

They may have one but would not expect it to be low cost either.
My Kioti Hyd. filter was around 120, also a 10 micron filter.
So the prices you are encountering may be about what to expect for that machine.
10 Micron filter is a great spec.

Can call, but there is nothing listed for the Bobcat equivalent (B300) of my machine in that file.
236 for a filter seems pretty steep to me...

For that price i would pull the filter and install and external return side filter housing and filter.

If this is a hydrostatic charge filter is is a moderately high pressure filter, rated to about 1,000 psi vs the 100 psi of an engine oil filter or about the same for a suction filter. Housing is heavier and filter media is stronger.

Pardon the ignorance, how would I know if it was a charge filter?

Hadn't thought of replacing with a separate filter as noted above, but then again I'm looking to sell the machine shortly so the cost of modifying the hoses etc probably is more than just buying a filter for 1x.
